Re: [Nagios-devel] XML Output
Posted: Fri Nov 15, 2002 12:13 am
Part of the XML request is to be able to provide a raw XML feed to
programs like NTtray. The closest thing I can think of is SOAP - but a
simple of dump of the XML stream on a TCP connection should work just as
well and be a lot simpler.
The current definition I proposed allows for zero or more host/service
records to be sent - possibly allowing some form of filtering before
transmission. Might be useful if someone wanted to develop a gui and only
request objects that a user was authorized for.
expat and Perl's XML::Parser based on expat seemed to be the smallest
pieces of code that would do the job.
