OK, I know there were a lot of problems with the last "dtd" sent out (comments and all). While the Nagios configuration files would do much better with a schema based design, a simple dtd is sufficient for the status file for the moment. I'll try and pump out a schema design for the statuslog file soon. I am working on an entire XML tier for interfacing with Nagios 1.x. I will release components as they become useful. The first component I have is a small Perl app that will create an XML document from the Nagios 1.0 status file according to the dtd included in this message. This app can be used either from the command-line (for pipeline processing) or as a CGI. Just change the path to your status file in the first line of code (and make sure you have setup permissions properly) and you should be good to go. This app can be used to integrate Nagios status information into any application that understands XML. This weekend I intend to setup a Sourceforge project for these components. The posted version will also contain the ability to transform the XML via XSLT stylesheets before outputting the data. I hope to have completed a sample Web UI for reporting Nagios Status using these techniques. If anyone has any problems with this code, please let me know. Also if anyone tries it on Nagios 1.1 I would appreciate knowing how it works.

You might want to switch to XSchema since it's much clearer and allows for tighter definitions. PS Your DTD can't contain comments  within the element definition. --- dan@julieanddan.com wrote: --------------------------------- Sorry about the html garbage in my lastpost, let's try that again __________________ Daniel Koffler dan@julieanddan.com Tel: 514.497.1411 Fax: 206.600.4642 GPG Key ID: 0xA2C6DC83 Fingerprint: 1FD7 3FDF 8A0D 961F 26A2 3EDA AE8FA874 A2C6 DC83 > ATTACHMENT part 2 application/octet-stream name=nagios_status_log_dtd.xml </tt>
