[Nagios-users] Syslog - Nagios?

[Mike Koponick]

I would like to send Syslog information from a remote Nagios sensor to the Central Server via NSCA, since it’s already in place.   I’m trying to see if there is a feasible way to parse out the information I need, using something like SWATCH and send it to the Central Server, who should be able to send it to a MySQL server.   I was thinking that I might be able to write the parsed out information to the Nagios command file, but I don’t think that would work. My thinking is that if it was written to the Nagios command file that I would be able to send it the parsed out information via the Nagios process, but I might be WAY off base.   Has anyone ever done anything like this before?   Thanks in advance,   Mike
