Nagios Support Forum

have a php script can read status.dat file and return data at json format in data.json file.
So how can I make nagios core execute a php script in background like the plugins?

Hi,

If you want to actually hook into Nagios Core, then it's necessary to create a Broker Module (using C). There is not much documentation on the Nagios Event Broker Module (take a look at the source code). The other option would be to use event handlers or set this up as a cron job running on some interval.
