I am coming into this a bit late, but maybe a method like this would
work. For each of my LDAP hosts I have a check_ldaps service defined
as:
$USER1$/check_ldaps -p 636 -H `$USER1$/ip2ldapCN $HOSTADDRESS$` $ARG1$
where ip2ldapCN is:
for i in auth1.example.com auth2.example.com auth3.example.com
auth4.example.com auth4.example.com
do
addr=`dig +short $i`
if [ "$addr" = "$1" ]; then
echo $i
exit
fi
done
echo "Incorrect_address of ip2ldapCN $1"
This loops over all auth hosts and returns the auth host name
corresponding to the host address passed in. However a similar
mechanism could be used to represent any data.
Imagine a shell script that takes two arguments: attribute_name and host
this allows you to get any attribute value into a command.
So I could write:
$USER1$/check_ldaps -p 636 -H `$USER1$/attributes AUTHNAME $HOSTNAME$` $ARG1$
and then attributes runs:
sed -ne "s/.*$2-$1=(.*)/\1/p" /etc/nagios/hosts/*.cfg
to extract the attribute from the host config where the attribute
looks like:
# host1.example.com-AUTHNAME: auth1.example.com
With some perl you could check the mtime of the *.cfg files (or the
parent directory) and reparse the config files extracting all the keys
and values into a dbm file for faster lookup.
Yes, this is a hack but it might be a useful hack and can work for
any plugin.
