Submit Exernal commands from Remote Machine to Nagioxi

[mdusanapudi]

Hi ,
I am trying to integrate service now with nagios xi using NRDP and Goal of this integrations is to disable /enable host and service checks from servicenow.
While using NRDP client I cam e to know that it can only submit the passive checks but not external commands.

Is there a way to send external commands to nagiosxi from remote machine using NRDP?

No, there is not any way to send external commands to Nagios XI from a remote machine using NRDP or via any other component, as far as I'm aware.

For what reasons do you need to suspend host/ service checks on Service now, and under what conditions? Perhaps there is another approach.

We wanted to put the host check disabled when there is change request in servicenow for maintenance activity.
I am thinking using NRDP if we can pass DISABLE_HOST_CHECK and DISABLE_HOST_SVC_CHECK we can fire them from ServiceNow.

There are a couple plugins built already, for ServiceNow integration. I don't know if they all work completely, so they make take some hacking to get them working.

Instructions can be found here -

For reference, by setting notification_interval 0 - you will only receive one notification when a host or service goes down.

Will that perl script work for your needs?

I am actually looking for a way to interact with nagios from a remote machine and not from nagios to servicenow integration
Any API or Script will work for me and I can customize them

You don't need NRDP for that, you can just issue a curl:

"Scheduling Downtime From A Remote Host"

This is for the host object:
Command:

Code: Select all

curl -d "cmd_typ=55&cmd_mod=2&host=centos03&com_data=TestingDowntime&trigger=0&start_time=03-13-2015 11:30:00&end_time=03-13-2015 11:40:00&fixed=1&childoptions=0&btnSubmit=Commit" "http://xitest/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi" -u "troylea:password"

This is for the host's services:
Command:

Code: Select all

curl -d "cmd_typ=86&cmd_mod=2&host=centos03&com_data=TestingDowntime&trigger=0&start_time=03-13-2015 11:30:00&end_time=03-13-2015 11:40:00&fixed=1&childoptions=0&btnSubmit=Commit" "http://xitest/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi" -u "troylea:password"

The output you receive for the commands is a http page, but most importantly you are after this message:
Output:

Code: Select all

<P><DIV CLASS='infoMessage'>Your command request was successfully submitted to Nagios for processing.<BR><BR>
Note: It may take a while before the command is actually processed.<BR><BR>

Thanks Everyone for your replies...I was able to make it work using Ruby.
we need to install a ruby gem called nagios_nrdp
written a ruby script to call the commands
#!/usr/bin/env /usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.0/bin/ruby
require 'nagios_nrdp'


url = ARGV[0]

token = ARGV[1]

command = ARGV[2]
nrdp = Nagios::Nrdp.new(url: url, token: token)
nrdp.submit_command(command)



Run the script with commandline args .URL,token,command
example :send_nrdp.rb http://testurl.com/nrdp mytoken DISABLE_HOST_CHECK;somehost



Thanks
