any solution which will allow me to forward Nagios alerts to Netcool?

[Kyle O'Donnell]

I wrote something for two way connection to netcool...

For alerts themselves i use the tivoli command postemsg, if you have
the license for that EIF probe, and wrote a shell script wrapper which
gets executed by nagios as a notification command.

I wrote something that reads the nagios log for problem ack/remove
problem ack, sched downtime, add comments, del comments then sends
postemsg commands to omnibus to let it know something is ack/down.

I then created a fakehost/fakeservice which omnibus uses to send me
external commands, so if someone is using netcool UI instead of nagios
and want to sched downtime they do by formatting the appropriate
command and sending to nagios via nsca (all this is behind the scenes
in a web interface)

printf fakehost\tfakservice\t3\tACK_SVC_PROB:host:arg:arg:arg...\n" |send_nsca

The downtime deletion is a bit harder...

I use host ifservice start/end time in epoch as identifiers and when
omnibus sends me a del downtime i read in the status.log (or
downtime.log for nagios2) and find the downtime id to delete.
