How to get SNMP info programatically using Nagios
Posted: Thu May 24, 2018 12:55 pm
Hey folks,
I am new to the whole world of network monitoring. I have reviewed several open source SNMP server monitoring software packages such as OpenNMS and Nagios. I found out that using OpenNMS, you can easily get the information of your server like memory usage, cpu usage, temperature and etc using the ReST API OpenNMS provides. Since I need to get this information programatically and not through the UI(website), I was wondering if there is any similar mechanism like this in Nagios as well?
In another word, now that I got the Nagios web server working and can get the different information of the server, is there any way I get this data programatically?
Thanks in advance
