Nagios Log server - Microfocus OBM integration

[Techmnagioslsuser]

Hello team,

We are trying to integrate production nagios Log server with Microfocus OBM. Please help us with any documentation/process for integration
as well as for API & web hook integration.

Thanks

We don't currently have any microfocus specific documentation.

Did you point Microfocus logs to the Log Server system? Do you see the logs in the Log Server web interface under Dashboards?

Do you have an example of the logs/format of the logs?

Hello,

Actually we are trying to use Microfocus as MoM. Plan is to send NagiosLS alert Data to Microfocus , where it will formulated into common dashboard & notification system.

Thanks

Okay, thanks for clarifying.

If you only want the Alerts to be sent:

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... Server.pdf

You would need to use one of the Alert Methods to do it:

There are multiple alert methods available in Nagios Log Server.
• Nagios / NRDP - Send an alert to your Nagios XI or Nagios Core server using NRDP
• Execute Script - Run a custom script and pass variables to the script
• SNMP Traps - SNMP Traps can be sent to other applications using the Nagios MIB
• Email Users - Email Nagios Log Server users
• Nagios XI Log Server Wizard - You can use the Nagios XI Log Server Wizard to alert based on
queries saved on your Nagios Log Server

More than likely you would want to use Email Users functionality (but your Microfocus would need to support receiving/processing emails) because that is the only one that currently gives you the option to see some (not all) of the matching log data via the email template macros for %lastalertlog% or %last10alertlog%.

If it accepts SNMP Traps you could use that but the traps will not contain the log data.

The Execute Script functionality could be used but that would need to be architected/written by you to grab and send the information as it would be a custom integration. We do offer paid custom development, if that is something you're interested in you can reach out to sales@nagios.com (or call in) to get more information.

For the Log Server API functionality, you can see the current documentation here on your Log Server system:

EDIT: Another thought would be to add some type of Logstash output that would send data to the Microfocus system in some format. It's really up to what Microfocus supports ingesting, you would need to consult them on what options you have with their product.
