Passive Monitor results via email

Post by Fred Kroeger »

Are there any interfaces for Nagios that allow Passive monitor results to be received via email or HTTP endpoint?
I am using CPM (Cloud Protection Manager) in AWS for instance backups but it can only send success/faulure notifications by email using their SNS (Amazon Simple Notification Service)
So I was thinking that if I could send the message to the Nagios Server and setup a Passive monitor which checks that mailbox?
SNS also can send a message to an HTTP endpoint, so perhaps this is another way for Nagios to receive these messages.
Has anyone tried a similar method to send monitor results to Nagios ?

regards.. Fred

The HTTP endpoint sounds a lot like NRDP. Can you format the message that CPM sends?

I'll have a closer look at the NRDP interface and see if it fits.
CPM uses SNS to publish a topic that is sent to subscribers. It's SNS that can send the message to an endpoint.
You can close this
Thanks for your help - regards... Fred
