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
Yes - it's pretty easy. With syslog-NG you can write template output
something like:
destination d_facility_crit { pipe("/var/run/nagios.pipe"
template("$HOST,$FACILITY,2,'$MSG'\n") template_escape(no)); };
The template being the data in a form that NSCA can read. The
destination is a named pipe. Then echo the contents of the pipe into the
send_nsca binary.
