Display alert in Nagios or Web application

[dewminiherath]

I have requirement to generate alert for a given scenario (they preferred Nagios)

Ex:- When a particular record not updated for last 10 hours
Which requires to execute SQL query in the application core database.

I would like to know whether the best approach is generation Nagios alarm or show it in an already existing web application dashboard (Spring MVC)

I’m in doubt whether it will be a burden for the system since Nagios pull data frequently. If it is configured with Nagios can I show my customized data set (for example: user info, city, dates, mobile etc) in the Nagios dashboard.

I thought Nagios is for monitoring system health not for displaying the application level data. I’m a bit new to Nagios.

Nagios can do whatever you want it to do, all it does is execute a command and receive output back (exit code and text).

What you do with that received text is up to you. The text you receive back can have the info (user info, city, dates, mobile) displayed as part of it.
