It's probably worth mentioning here though. The ultra short version is that the Family & Church History department would love to see a small extension to nagios created, but doesn't have the resources to throw at it right now. If you're interested in hacking on Nagios, drop me a line, or respond to the blog post -- I'll put up more detail there if people are interested.

From what I can gather online, JIRA offers an XML-RPC service that allows you to drive it externally. See

http://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action;jsessionid=EEEJAHBFNBMK?pageId=120980

that's the path I was thinking should get followed.


If I understand right, you'd like to be able (for example) to have someone viewing an outage page be able to click a link which would automatically open a JIRA "issue" about the outage. Is that what you're looking for?


exactly.

(Unfortunately) Nagios' cgi interface is written in C, so it might be just a matter of hacking the Nagios C source for its cgi interface to generate links on outage pages to a (Perl?) script running on the Nagios machine which would generate the XML-RPC request to openthe JIRA issue.

Perhaps Nagios is more easily extended than that (I would _really_ hope so), in which case this might be even easier. Browsing through freshmeat, it looks like there are severala front-end options for Nagios. Are you using the web interface provided by Nagios itself?


at this point, yes. That's not graven in stone, but probably won't change in the next quarter.

I'm interested (in case you couldn't tell),


cool.


I'm going to drop an extract of this onto the blog entry as well, just to keep things synced up.
