Tibco hawk and Nagios

[emartine]

I've been tasked to see if tibco hawk can be added to NagiosXI.

Are there any tools available to be able to integrate the two?

Hadn't heard of that before, had to google around to see what it was all about. Seems like another monitoring product? I am not personally familiar with any documentation we would have, and I was not able to find anything on the matter. I'm sure it can be done if the right code were written, but I don't think it has.

Yeah that appears to be the case. This is what I am dealing with https://docs.tibco.com/products/tibco-hawk-5-2-0

Looks like it has a "SNMP Adapter", and if that is the case then we can potentially monitor it that way, otherwise it would likely need to be some custom code to monitor the agents directly using their own protocol.

Also, TIBCO may be familiar with Nagios integration. I couldn't find a lot of details, but I found https://docs.tibco.com/pub/activematrix ... EDB65.html

Folks are looking to create a single pane of glass to view the status of everything. Even other monitoring solutions so I wanted to see if Nagios could help in this regard.

Got it - from the reading I've done you'd need to build a bit of custom scripts to interface the two. It looks like the tibco-hawk device has an API available, which I imagine should allow you to extract that information and into Nagios. https://docs.tibco.com/pub/hawk/5.2.0/d ... index.html - without knowing the software and exactly how it works though, we're a bit hindered. If you can access an API call that will give you the status you're looking for in Nagios, then it should be as simply as parsing curl calls for the status output.

If they're looking for a single pane, one way to extract the data from Nagios is using the API which could be integrated in with many applications. See the 'Help' menu in XI for more info about the API available. This would assume you're building another application to read all of the data from within your different applications.
