NRDP – Nagios Remote Data Processor

macling66, check directory permissions. checkresults should have write access for www-data user. # ls -ld /var/lib/nagios3/spool/ drwxr-x--- 3 nagios nagios 4096 Jun 28 2013 /var/lib/nagios3/spool/ # ls -ld /var/lib/nagios3/spool/checkresults/ drwxr-x--- 2 nagios nagios 12288 Oct 30 12:34 /var/lib/nagios3/spool/checkresults/ # chown nagios.www-data /var/lib/nagios3/spool/checkresults/ # chmod g+w /var/lib/nagios3/spool/checkresults/ # ls -ld /var/lib/nagios3/spool/checkresults/ drwxrwx--- 2 nagios www-data 12288 Oct 30 12:34 /var/lib/nagios3/spool/checkresults/

There is a bug in send_nrdp.php. It doesn't work if there is not default port in url. See source code under comment "Curl"/

we use this script for multiple lines of output: define command { command_name notify-service-by-nrdp command_line /path/send_nrdp.sh "$HOSTNAME$" "$SERVICEDESC$" $SERVICESTATEID$ "$SERVICEOUTPUT$ $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$" "$SERVICEPERFDATA$" } /path/send_nrdp.sh: #!/bin/bash TEST=$(echo "$4 | $5" | sed 's/$/n/' | tr -d "rn" ) /usr/local/nrdp/clients/send_nrdp.php --url=http://1.1.1.1/nrdp --token=xyzterw --host="$1" --service="$2" --state="$3" --output="$TEST"

Thanks for this simple passive check solution. I will be implementing it here.

The tool works well, better than NSCA or other passive methodes. The URL (assets.nagios...) isn't working any longer though.

NRDP is compatible with nagios core 4 ?

I am trying to use NRDP. Please give me the hint how to make it work with http_post. The first TEST is OK : DISABLE_HOST_NOTIFICATIONS The second TEST on a service is NOT OK.

Try as I might, I can not get newlines in the output either via the web page submission or via send_nrdp.pl. I've tried n, \n, actual newlines and all I ever get is the first line and that's it.

I was glad to see this get developed. We've been migrating away from NSCA to NRDP for multiple reasons: - Long output support. - More consistent results interfacing with a web server rather than the NSCA daemon. - Easier to develop interfaces against URL encoded XML submissions (easy multi-language / multi-platform support). - It may be my imagination but check results seem to get picked up faster by nagios through NRPD. I wished it came with a client in another language but PHP. We don't have php binaries in our environment. I've written a perl based client that uses the NRDP protocol but functions as a dropin replacement for send_nsca. I may post if there's interest.

This is a huge step forward from NSCA, thanks for the contribution. No more external config is a huge plus, as is the firewall hassle being eliminated.
