log events presentation (end of alert after ack)

[Gregor Bruhin]

Hi,

What is the best way to integrate (asynchronous and external) log 
events in nagios ?

First of all the service I would like to generate a status for has to 
be defined, probably it will be a service with no active checks...

Little example:

A new log entry is written in my logfile on server A.
The monitoring server M should check the logfile on A, see that there 
is a new event and then generate a critical status. (all this is quite 
easy to do)

Then I would like to keep this service in critical state until someone 
has acknowledged it. How can I do this ? I had the idea to use an event 
handler to send some data to my plugin to tell it, now you can send a 
status update again, but there are probably other and easier ways to do 
it no ?

How do you manage that ? (for example with portsentry integration)

Thanks, Greg
