Nagios Support Forum

Dear team,

I have installed & running trail Nagios XI system as testing server.
I want to convert NRPE result to SNMP traps.
As i describe the requirement, I have 3 servers as A-application running server(Monitoring server), B-Nagios XI server, C-3rd party system server. I am getting NRPE status from A to B server & pop up the relevant alarms. It is working fine. I want to convert that NRPE status to SNMP trap & send to server C to display alarms from their monitoring GUI. Is it possible via Nagios XI server(Server B)?

I know, Nagios XI can be sent status update via SNMP to 3rd party system.
Appriciate your support to check this. Currently we have Nagios core system to monitor around 300 hosts.

Thank you
Mahesh

There is an option to send alerts to a snmp trap sink under Admin > System Extensions > Manage Components > SNMP Trap Sender, but this applies to all checks and not just NRPE.

For your situation I would go the route of using an event handler to send alerts and notifications. The event handler can then be applied to select host and/or service checks. https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf goes over setting up event handlers and provides an example script. Your script could use the 'snmptrap' command available on the Linux OS to send a snmp trap sink.
