Hello,
I need to implement data from PRTG into Nagios Core.
There seems to be no solution as of yet.
So regardless of how to get data from PRTG in a specific format:
What possibilities are there to get external data into nagios?
I searched through event handlers, APIs and custom scripts but could not find a solution.
Maybe through ndoutils? But I don't understand how to actually use it for external data and in what format the data has to be.
Regards

Re: external data source
I will be honest -I do not know what PRTG is except that it is essentially a competing monitoring solution to Nagios.
Your best bet would be passive checks that export data from PRTG and format them appropriate to send to Nagios. NSCA or NRDP would be the primary tools for doing that, but you can also write directly to the nagios.cmd file if the work is taking place on the Nagios server.
Either way, you will want to look at http://www.nagios.org/projects/nagioscore and look at the API information towards the bottom.
