nagios_commander

The little known Nagios front-end API, which can be accessed via curl, is actually quite powerful if only it were more accessible. This project aims to wrap this functionality around a simple command line interface to query and command a Nagios instance as one would using the GUI. Nearly all basic functions of Nagios are working out of the box. Please comment and report bugs here or at github as they arise (and they always do ;). Biggest thanks to my employer, Big Fish Games Inc., for allowing me to open source this project having learned everything I now know about Nagios at the time of this release. The help dialog shown below should suffice until a more detailed doc on usage surfaces: -n | --nag-host nagios HOSTNAME followed by its nagios directory -u | --username USER to execute commands -p | --password PASSWORD of the executing user -q | --query QUERY a nagios or device in nagios list (object or group object required) host_downtime service_downtime notifications (global) event_handlers (global) active_svc_checks (global) passive_svc_checks (global) active_host_checks (global) passive_host_checks (global) -c | --command COMMAND to issue in the form --command [action] [scope] [value] action: set del ack scope: (required for all but ack) downtime notifications event_handlers active_svc_checks passive_svc_checks active_host_checks passive_host_checks value: (only required for global commands) enable disable -Q | --quiet Flag for QUICK execution and QUIET output -h | --host HOST to execute the METHOD against.
