We do not have documentation or support for this currently, however a quick search of google found some things:


https://communities.bmc.com/communities/thread/52399

https://communities.bmc.com/communities/thread/55879

It could be possible to parse the alert logs, and then send them to the BEM system however we do not have such a thing installed at our office so we can not work towards integrating it into Nagios. If you do go ahead with this we can give you some limited support but would be more than happy to get some updates on how the project is going.

Hi Slansing,

Thanks for the help and we have seen these updates, but do not know how to call external command in Nagios to forward Nagios events.
Need help to get document explaining Nagios configuration steps for executing BEM command "MSEND" from Nagios to forward the identified and/or all Nagios alerts as an event action.


Best Regards
Anil

You could use event handlers: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... dlers.html
You will have to create a custom script to perform the msend with nagios macros.
When a problem state changes for given hosts/services, this script can be called through event handlers.
This requires in depth knowledge of the protocols involved and depending on the complexities of BEM, it could be a bear to setup.
