Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

Please let me nkow the feasibility to display the event handler output to the service front end display so that user can view the action of the event handler completd or now .

There's nothing on the front-end of Nagios Core for tracking the "progress" of event handlers, but you could set up a dummy passive check then update it's status in various stages of your event handler using the external commands file. Specifically, commands like PROCESS_HOST_CHECK_RESULT and PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT could be used to update this "dummy" checks status at various stages of your event handler's execution. Say your event handler has 4 stages:

• Starting event handler
• Restarting service
• Checking service status
• Finished at 09/11/2017

You could update this "dummy" check's status for each of those stages.

A full list of all available external commands:

Thanks for the assist @mcapra!
