Nagios Support Forum

Hello, and Happy New Year to you!

I need to create a Nagios Core plugin, that touches the cloud AWS environments, from non-cloud system.

the problem I see is first I need to obtain a auth token, the return response to the first request would be the auth token.

I would take that auth token and use it to access the cloud envs,

is Nagios Core equiped to handle this type of call, I'm still a bit fresh with Nagios. thank you!

Yes.

Basically Nagios just executes commands and only cares about getting back an exit code and some human friendly text.

Everything you explained will need to be scripted into your plugin, Nagios doesn't care about any of that. Things might get complicated if you want to pass information from one check to another, it's entirely up to you as to how you design it.

got it,

thank you!

Great, is it OK to close this thread?

Yes Sir, please close. thank you
