My customer has an existing management platform running (CA Unicenter / SCOM). I was wondering if I can install Nagios Core to check each host's health status, and provide the north-bound interface to my customer's existing management platform. By saying the "North-bound interface", that mean the Nagio core will forward the received host's alerts to customer's management platform, and ideally/potentially be a collection station provided to the customer's management platform as a single collection point for the overall host/server's health status.
Is above architecture feaesible?
Can Nagios Core be configured as a collection station?
Re: Can Nagios Core be configured as a collection station?
It's possible, but I haven't done it and I can't provide a step-by-step explanation for how to do it. In general though, you'll need to set up an event handler which forwards the results to the other software you're using. This will be easy if you know exactly how to speak to CA Unicenter/SCOM, or if you can find someone else who has done this before, since you can probably just use their event handler.
