The script you are looking for is:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.sh

This script fires off a whole bunch of stuff, and it is the one that is run when "apply configuration" is clicked.

Small update. Everything has been tested. I am still waiting on the applications team to put the export of the data on a server so we can schedule it to run, but I have my two scripts fully tested. Hopefully they get their end done soon so I can start using this in production. I added in slight error handling in the perl script. It will die if one of the input files are not found. If that happens, that means either the applications team script failed or my ftp script failed. We'll be using Control-M to schedule the jobs. The applications team's job will run at 8am daily and then my two jobs will run. I'll add one more update to this post after it is in production and has been used for a couple weeks with a full write-up.

FTP script to grab file: (ftpscript.sh)

Code: Select all

HOST=xxxxxxxx  #This is the FTP servers host or IP address.
USER=xxxxxx         #This is the FTP user that has access to the server.
PASS=xxxxxx         #This is the password for the FTP user.

ftp -inv $HOST << EOF

user $USER $PASS

cd /nagiosftp

get primaryOnCall.txt
get secondaryOnCall.txt

delete primaryOnCall.txt
delete secondaryOnCall.txt

bye
EOF

Perl script to create static config file:(oncall.pl)

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl

#Process primary on-call file
open (INFILE, 'primaryOnCall.txt') or die $1;
while (<INFILE>) {
        chomp;
        ($group, $alias, $id) = split(",");
        if ($alias ne '') {
        open (OUTFILE, '>/usr/local/nagios/etc/static/'  . $alias . '_oncall_pri.cfg');
                print OUTFILE "define contactgroup{\n";
                print OUTFILE "contactgroup_name $alias" . "_oncall_pri\n";
                print OUTFILE "alias $group\n";
                print OUTFILE "members $id\n";
                print OUTFILE "}";
        close (OUTFILE);
        }
        }

                print OUTFILE "define contactgroup{\n";
                print OUTFILE "contactgroup_name $alias" . "_oncall_sec\n";

        close (OUTFILE);

        }

Great, let us know .

FYI - We are live with this in production and seems to be working great. Anyone else that needs on-call rotation handling and have any question of what I explained, feel free to message me and ask!

Next I need to build a XI Component to handle it

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
