configure nagios riemann integration for monitoring

Question

Hi i want to know how can i configure Riemann to forward events to nagios Server This gives the API for Riemann nagios integration but there is not enough info of doing it.I am new to Riemann and i am unable to figure out a way.

Answer 1

You need something like the following in your riemann.config file:

(let [nagios (nagios {:host "localhost" :port 5667 :password "secret" :encryption TRIPLE_DES})]
  (streams
    (where (service "some-critical-service")
      nagios)))

It will forward the events from service "some-critical-service" to nagios. The message sent to nagios will contain the host, state, service and description from the event.

You can find more info looking into the documentation for integrating with other systems and the api docs specific to the nagios integration
