Nagios Support Forum

Hi All,
trying to understand how to use Query Socket feature in my Nagios 4.0.2 server. I am not getting good example beside nagios documentation (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagi ... ery_socket) to understand more about this new feature. I am not using any database in my current setup but trying to understand can any other application (outside Nagios) talk to nagios and pull currently critical services/checks?
Does this require DB backend to work or any other requirement, can someone share few examples of ../var/rw/nagios.qh to understand how we suppose to configure and use that?

Thanks

This does not require a database backend at all, it is purely a file socket that queries the core engine for whatever data you request and returns it back over the same socket. However as it's relatively new, I don't know of any examples outside of the nerd radio stuff.

Thanks Spenser.
Would you mind sharing those example or nerd, how to configure and use it if you have handy or any detailed documentation will also work.

Thanks
Abhijit

About the only code I know of, is the actual core code for nerd radio. You can find it here on sourceforge git, or in your tarball for nagios core. http://sourceforge.net/p/nagios/nagiosc ... ase/nerd.c
