Nagios2JSON

[Yann JOUANIN]

I could get it works as an event broker, but where to send data? 
I thought about two things : 

_ A cgi file to export data in JSON format, for all data which don't need realtime (such as hosts list ...).
_ A event broker to send data to another server (the frontend) on event by using for example JSON-RPC (www.json-rpc.org).

This will permit realtime update for alarms etc, and to send data every N minutes to frontend server.

I am using several Nagios servers and I generate JSON data every 5 mins in local and push them through ssh to the frontend server where I aggregate data.

Hi list,

I agree with Thomas. Would be nice to have this as an event broker.  
And maybe it could be a good start to discuss what could be the next  
"official" interface to Nagios... What way to implement it ?
