How to import or export nagios host Data from command line

[[email protected]]

This might be a basic question for some of you but being a beginner i wanted to know how to export or import data of the current status(CPU, Memory, Diskspace etc) of the host from command line into a CSV/JSON/XML format. THis is to provide daily reports in a readable format to our management team. Below is brief of what we are running,

We have a nagios server in the backend and we are using Icinga on the frontend to see host status, graphs etc. On the Icinga when i check the current status of the host i do see an option to "Export to CSV" in the browser but i wanted to get this data from the command line so i can automate this process for multiple hosts. Is there a way to simply run some commands and download the current status of a host(Windows or Linux) from command line?

Thanks and any help will be much appreciated!

Well, if you are running core 4, you can use the json api or the query handler. What version of core are you running?
