I've written several Perl plugins for Nagios that take alternately the
RRD's and check those for values, or dump & parse the XML from either
the gmetad server or the gmond host itself. These are both up and in
production, though I've got big TODO's for them when I get around to it.
If those are wanted/needed by the community, let me know and I'll post
them up on nagiosexchange.com. It is pretty simple once you have your
ganglia tools in place to integrate the two. I'll whip up a Nagios host
builder from gmetad XML this week also while I'm at it.
Any interest?

Hi all!
I'm trying to find out if there is tool already developed that would
trigger when a precondition is achieved for example is a host is dead
then send a SMS to the system administrator.
I found on the ganglia-general mailing list a thread started by Leif
Nixon about this
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=2212186
I would like to avoid the installing nagios (keep it simple) if
possible, and from the choices given in
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=2214585
by Steven Wagner, I think that creating a small application (option #3)
would be the fastest to develop and probably the most powerfull way of
doing this (using a scripting language such as python or pearl).
So has any work been done on this subject?
Thanks in advance for any information,
Miguel Tavares
