OS-TYPE in Nagios

[Michael Arndt]

Hello *

any opinions how and where to do "bookkeping"
of the "actual" Client Operating System Version in Nagios ?

When submitting Trouble Tickets from nagios, 
OS Version is a helpful addon info.

Getting OS Version from static info is misleading due to frequent
changes / updates at bigger sites

so collecting OS Version once a day for each host "online"
and having a matrix host / os for call generation is useful

i plan to do it outside of nagios and evaluate the matrix
in the event for call notification

any insights how to do it generic inside nagios ?
(e.g. with user Macros) in a way that each plugin or
notification has access ?


TIA
Micha
