This is just a port of nagiosity with an aditional goodness of JSON/JSONP output.
The original project can be found at http://code.google.com/p/nagiosity/
Nagiosity is a python CGI originaly written by Matt Joyce that reads the Nagios status file and renders it in an XML proper for another script/application consumption.
Install this script and its configuration file on a user/dir with access to nagios's nagios.dat file.
Copy the config.js.sample file to config.js and customize it.
Note: You may or may not be making too much information available through this app. If this is your situation here are 2 solutions:
- Place an Apache / Nginx server with a proper authentication mechanism in front of this script.
- Serve only to localhost and install the clients to this app on the same machine.
This script has been tested with node.js 0.2.4 and 0.3.2/0.3.3 and with Nagios 3.2.3.
(Default parameters)
XML output (same format as the original nagiosity):
curl http://127.0.0.1:3999/nagios/status.xml
or:
curl -H "Accept: text/xml" http://127.0.0.1:3999/nagios/status
JSON output (same fields as the original nagiosity):
curl http://127.0.0.1:3999/nagios/status
The HTTP Header If-Modified-Since is supported for both formats, enabling client side caching.
JSON supports the following output options:
- verbose - Return full nagios state
- callback/jsonp - JSONP padding
- indent - JSON output indentation (as defined in JSON)
Examples:
JSON full output (entire contents of nagios status.dat file as JSON):
curl http://127.0.0.1:3999/nagios/status?verbose
JSONP output:
curl http://127.0.0.1:3999/nagios/status?callback=updateNagiosState
JSON indented full output (useful for debugging):
curl http://127.0.0.1:3999/nagios/status?verbose\&indent=4
JSONP indented verbose output:
curl http://127.0.0.1:3999/nagios/status?callback=updateNagiosState\&verbose\&indent=2
