Capture Alerts in a file

[ets_user]

Hi,

Can we capture the alerts in a file.

For every alert generated in Nagios we need the alert message to be created in a seperate file in a folder location.

Kindly advise.

Thanks.

HI,

One option is the reports, this information is available (e.g. State History, Alert History) and can be sent as a CSV file on a regular basis using the scheduled reporting feature.

You can also automate this with some scripting. For example, you can write this data to a log file using a custom event handler or you can parse the nagios.logs on a schedulable basis and write out the required data to a separate log.

Log Files:'

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/var/archives
/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log

Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any questions.

This would be easiest to use the Global Event Handlers in XI if you want to do it for every all hosts/services
