Forward events to Nagios

Post by photon »

Hello everyone,

We want to create an interface between our NMS and Nagios. The NMS does all the work and forward consolidated events to Nagios. I need to know how to integrate these events to Nagios. Maybe we could make our NMS forward its events to some file ( in Nagios plugin output format for example STATUS OK|....), then Nagios checks it.
From our NMS side, it's pretty clear what to do, but I'm not familiar with Nagios to say the least. So... how any ideas on how I can pass events to Nagios ?
Thanks for your help :mrgreen:

You could send passive results to Nagios to achieve what you're looking for:

See if that gets you what you need
