nagios web service

Post by dpaalhar »

Is there a web service we can pull status/information from? We are using Nagios 3.0.6 version.

What kind of information? What is it you're trying to accomplish?

We want to use a web service to pull information out of nagios to put into our own web site for making quandrants for multiple tools. We want to do this instead of doing a screen scrape so the information is updated using the duration we choose. We also want to take this information so we can get historical reporting of which we don't have today.

Nagios offers access to status information through CGIs, which can be used as a pseudo-API to accomplish what you're describing. You can use the code of add-on frontends such as V-Shell as an example.
