Need an API to allow sending passive alert from Java App

Post by skynardo »

Our in-house developed Java application developers need an API that will allow them to send a passive check/alert to our Nagios XI server. Is something like this available today? I could re-define the service on the Nagios side, but not sure how to direct them to send passive alerts to said service. This is something they are already doing today to send events to our Omnibus Alert console, but I am trying to replace that console with Nagios.

NRDP was built for that specific purpose:

From the Nagios XI GUI, you can configure the NRDP server under Admin -> Inbound Transfers.

The scripts we provide are fairly basic (located on a nagios xi machine in /usr/local/nrdp/clients) and should be easy to port. Let me know if you want some POC code :)
