Monitoring Nagios Log Server

I am trying to hit the following URL to parse instance status metrics for monitoring purposes
http://user:[email protected]/nagioslogse ... nce_status but it's not returning me anything. There are some underlying POST statements that are followed after this command.
I was wondering is there a way to get a json that I can parse from one of the nodes in regards to the instances info that's displayed on the administration UI?

By default, Nagios Log Server won't allow you to query that information from the outside. Your best bet is to use a plugin like NRPE to perform local queries.
For instance, the following will return proper java results if you run it on Nagios Log Server:
Code: Select all
curl -XGET localhost:9200/_nodes/jvm?pretty
Basic health check:
Code: Select all
curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty=true'
These queries don't work from the outside for security purposes.
You could easily use a plugin like NRPE to launch these queries locally - if that's something you're interested in getting data on. Otherwise, I can recommend the following plugin:

Or come to my 2015 Nagios World Conference talk on how to use all the Nagios suite of products to monitor, notify, alert, and track all the other Nagios suite of products.
I'll show you lots of tips and tricks for monitoring NLS with XI/Core, but also how to monitor XI/Core using NLS.
You can register for the conference with the link in @jolson's signature to get a discount, but if you do, please tell the Nagios folks that you registered because of eloyd!

If there were bbcode for "fireworks" I would have used that.

I was there last year and I loved it. We are expecting a baby in early October, my wife will kill me if I leave town
Otherwise would have loved to be there again. We may send someone this time as well
