It has been mentioned by several people in the past that it would be
helpful if there was a way of getting status information in XML
format. NTray is one program that would benefit from this.
The easiest solution at the moment would be to write a CGI that does
this. However, I know very little about XML at the moment, so I need
assistance from people in the know. Specifically, what should the
output look like to make it easy to interpret?
There are 3 types of entities that have status data:
- Process status (1 entry)
- Host status (Multiple entries)
- Service status (Multiple entries)
I suppose it would be nice to be able to get access to comment and
downtime data in XML format as well, although that is less of a
priority that status data.
Comments? Suggestions?
