Nagios Support Forum

Hello Team,

We are using Microfocus as MOM in our production. We are trying to integrate NagiosLS with MF using SNMP trap , to send the alert to MF.
Nagios LS needs to send the hostname of the application alert event.

Is that possible with SNMP trap to send hostname & the event to the receiver.

Thanks

++ updates

NagiosLS has to send atleast IP address of the application log source and the event in the SNMP trap to receiver.

Thanks

Hello NagiosLS Team,

Please help with the above query. We are looking this option for production integration.

Hello Team,

Please update on above request.

Hello,

Apologies on the delay. One way to do this, though it's not a way that scales very well, would be to build a query for the application errors you're looking for, as well as a specific host that has this application running. You would create a query per host, and thus, an alert per host. The alert would be named based on the hostname or IP address in the query. But this doesn't scale much past a handful of devices.

If you need something that scales better, it may be better, for now, to create a script that can basically execute the query via the API to retrieve the hostname/IP address, and send the SNMP trap. This custom script could be executed by an alert running that same query to make certain that you're getting the right trap, at the right time, with the right information.

Thanks for the update.

Could you please share the API list or documentation that would be useful to achieve this requirement.

Thanks

Hello Team,

Please help with any documentation or API list for the above request.

Thanks

Hello @Techmnagioslsuser

Pulled the following from a related query, the following API. Help > REST API Docs > Config Reference show an example on adding a host and service via the api.

Here are example two commands:

curl -XPOST "http://yourapihostaddresshere/nagiosxi/ ... F&pretty=1" -d "host_name=testapihostapply&address=127.0.0.1&check_command=check_ping\!3000,80%\!5000,100%&max_check_attempts=2&check_period=24x7&contacts=nagiosadmin&notification_interval=5&notification_period=24x7&applyconfig=1"

curl -XPOST "http://yourapihostaddresshere/nagiosxi/ ... F&pretty=1" -d "host_name=testapihostapply&service_description=SNMPTRAP&check_command=check_dummy\!0\!\"TRAP RESET\",100%&check_interval=5&retry_interval=5&max_check_attempts=2&check_period=24x7&contacts=nagiosadmin&notification_interval=5&notification_period=24x7&applyconfig=1"

The first creates the host and the second creates a service to listen for snmp traps from that host.

Thanks,
