Hi everyone! Long time nagios user but first time poster here on the support forums.
I just started using Geektool, a desktop customization tool for mac. I would like to be able to get a overview of our servers status from nagios, and put that on my desktop. Geektool supports adding images from urls or text from running system commands.
I would prefer to put some kind of graphic up that displays my servers and their status. Anyone here that has an idea about how that might be accomplished?
You'll probably have to write your own code snippet to pull the information from Nagios and then format it to be displayed with your app. For an efficient API like this, I would us mklivestatus. http://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk_livestatus.html
Otherwise, apart from the network status map, there isn't really a Nagios graphic that I'm aware of that could just be inserted as an image. It might be worth checking http://exchange.nagios.org though and seeing if someone has already created something that you can use for this.
WOW, MK Livestatus seems extensive. I will read through that and see if I can make some kind of PHP Script based on that, that outputs an image I can use.
