<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm looking to incorporate nagios into a couple of
different applications (one of them web-based), so ideally I need an easy way to
access the nagios state information.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've found the following</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>NagiosWS: <A
href="http://www.i-xs.de/nagiosws/">http://www.i-xs.de/nagiosws/</A></DIV>
<DIV>Nagios XML Engine: <A
href="http://nxe.sourceforge.net/">http://nxe.sourceforge.net/</A></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>They both appear to have roughly the same
functionality, and are both pretty easy to use. </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>However, they only provide access to the entire nagios state as a whole -
neither of them has any notion of contacts or contact_groups.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>While it would be very useful for remote clients to
be able to authenicate and only retrieve state information for the specified
contact, I appreciate that's it's a lot of work. So, what I could get by with in
the intern is some kind of parser for the nagios configuration files so I can
pull out the hosts/host_groups that apply to the contact, and then just query
that state information.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does such a beast exist?</FONT></DIV>
