Notifications on Openfire?

Hey guys,
I'm actual running Nagios Core and Openfire on openSUSE and now I'd like to send notifications (if a problem appears) in the Openfire-Chat.
I did alot of research, found several Jabber Notifications, BUT they were all out of date, and no one of them got any Documentation.
So my question is: is it possible to connect Nagios and Openfire? If yes, do I only need the check_jabber plugin? I know jabber is another call for xmpp, but xmpp is not equal Openfire ... right ?!
I'd be pleased if someone could help me to find (and maybe to install) such a function.
Regards

Hi Yaerox,
Just to confirm, are you trying to send Nagios notifications to an xmpp chat room/user? (i.e. Nagios XMPP notifications)
If so, you should check out Nagibot, it's what I use for this functionality and it's quite good, no real problems with it since I set it up.
Below are the two pages I used for this.
The first link is in German. I don't know German, but the steps seemed simple enough to follow.
Good luck!
Kind Regards,
Gary Shergill

Hi Yaerox,
The problem seems to be with connecting to the server;
Code: Select all
Disconnected from IP_ADRESS:5222: Error on connection to IP_ADRESS:5222: Protocol error
Not sure why that's coming up, I never had that appear.
Personally I use the FQDN when connecting;
Using the IP there had some errors for me before (different to yours).
Kind Regards,
Gary Shergill

#edited post:
Hi gshergill,
I'm running Openfire and Nagios on an openSUSE VM in a domain ... on Openfire-User-Administration NagiBot got the JID: nagibot@IP_ADRESS.
If I try hostname -f I get "hostname: Name or service not known"
hostname is giving me a linux-wnrb ...
hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost
Starting Nagibot @localhost instead of IP_ADRESS gives me the same result :/
resolv.conf:
search the.name.of.my.domain
nameserver an_adress_of_my_domain
Regards

Hi Yaerox,
Sorry, didn't see the bit about openSUSE, never heard of it to be honest (I just use seperate VMs, one with Openfire and the rest with Nagios).
Sorry can't be much more help.
Kind Regards,
