Well, the individual members are fairly self-explanatory, don't you think? Ethan's big on mnemonic names, and for a very good reason. You might want to check out some module and use as example though. mod_gearman provides a good resource, as does NDOUtils and Merlin. Livestatus is pretty nifty, but unless you're mentally equipped to follow the tons and tons of C++ boilerplate I advise against using it as anything but an excellent backend to your data. At http://git.op5.org/git/?p=nagios/merlin.git;a=summary you'll find the merlin source-code. If you're not git-literate you might want to download a snapshot. "module.c" and "hooks.c" has most of the code that handles nebstruct type objects. > Also, this article [2] suggests that you can pass configuration data to > your NEB module with this syntax: > > broker_module=/usr/local/nagios/bin/testmodule.o > config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/testmodule.cfg > > How does one access that configuration data from within the plugin?
