Query Nagios Log Server logs entries using API

[mgsteiner]

Hello all,

I would like to query the logs entries on Nagios Log Server from a script using the API.
Can anybody provide me with some help, where to start or samples?
Does anybody has experience doing that query from Talend using JSON ?

Thanks a lot in advance

The API doesn't allow much in the way of querying - there is the /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagioslogserver.php script that you can review to get an idea of how to submit a query, but will only return the number of entries that a query matched.

Thanks for the reply.!
I'm having the script and will check what I can do.

Anyhow, I was expecting using the API I could verify from an external code if a certain log entry already exists in order to avoid duplicated logs.

Nevertheless, this script might workout

Thanks and BR
