All -

Was wondering about the 'best' way to send Nagios Service Alerts and Notifications to an ArcSight server from a RH Linux 6 machine?.

Would there be a Nagios ArcSight daemon available for RH to feed an ArcSight connector?

and thanks much.

This PDF might help:

It seems to mention that there is a SmartConnector for Nagios available.

Otherwise you could look at using the SNMP Trap Sender component.
Or perhaps use the obsessive feature of Nagios Core.

I did not find anything on the Nagios Exchange.

Thanks much, Box293.

I came across that same PDF, and on contacting HP Support, they didn't have the particulars of which connector might provide that capability. Maybe I should contact HP Sales.

CEF formatted output from Nagios server to the ArcSight connector would seem to be the preferred solution, if I understand correctly.

Still looking; appreciate your response.

Sounds good, edward.bosco. I will keep this topic open for a while in case you have some feedback (more info) after talking to HP Sales.
