Summary: Alerts: Nagios Target for Notifications
Key: AMBARI-8165
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-8165
Project: Ambari
Issue Type: Task
Components: contrib
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: Jonathan Hurley
Assignee: Jonathan Hurley
Fix For: 2.0.0
The Ambari Server will be responsible for scheduling the dispatching of alerts
that have been received and not yet processed for outbound notification. On a
schedule, Ambari will determine the alert targets that should be receiving some
sort of notification and then it will gather all alert data for all alerts that
are destined for that alert target.
Nagios is a required notification mechanism. The Nagios server will surface the
current state of each alert defined in the system. In order to accomplish this
there are two possible methods for implementation:
1) Write a python script that Nagios will execute on its own schedule which can
then retrieve the current alerts from Ambari's REST APIs. The script will take
a combination of parameters (host, security, certificate, etc) in order to make
the requests.
2) Write a dispatcher that can handle pushing data to a Nagios server. There
will no longer be an agent running on Nagios, so this method would need to work
with Nagios' built-in mechanism, if any, for publishing data into Nagios.
