nagiosedit

  • Version: 3.0.2
  • Released on: 2016-07-14
  • Changelog
  • Compatible: 5.1.1.1, 5.0.0, 2.4.1, 2.4.0, 2.3.4

The Nagios output is used for sending passive check results to Nagios via the Nagios command file. This output currently supports Nagios 3.

For this output to work, your event must have the following Logstash event fields:

  • nagios_host
  • nagios_service

These Logstash event fields are supported, but optional:

  • nagios_annotation
  • nagios_level (overrides nagios_level configuration option)

There are two configuration options:

  • commandfile - The location of the Nagios external command file. Defaults to /var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd

  • nagios_level - Specifies the level of the check to be sent. Defaults to CRITICAL and can be overriden by setting the "nagios_level" field to one of "OK", "WARNING", "CRITICAL", or "UNKNOWN"

        output{
      if [message] =~ /(error|ERROR|CRITICAL)/ {
        nagios {
          # your config here
        }
      }
    }

Detailsedit

 

codecedit

  • Value type is codec
  • Default value is "plain"

The codec used for output data. Output codecs are a convenient method for encoding your data before it leaves the output, without needing a separate filter in your Logstash pipeline.

commandfileedit

  • Value type is string
  • Default value is "/var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd"

The full path to your Nagios command file.

enable_metricedit

  • Value type is boolean
  • Default value is true

Disable or enable metric logging for this specific plugin instance by default we record all the metrics we can, but you can disable metrics collection for a specific plugin.

idedit

  • Value type is string
  • There is no default value for this setting.

Add a unique ID to the plugin instance, this ID is used for tracking information for a specific configuration of the plugin.

output {
 stdout {
   id => "ABC"
 }
}

If you don’t explicitely set this variable Logstash will generate a unique name.

nagios_leveledit

  • Value can be any of: 0, 1, 2, 3
  • Default value is "2"

The Nagios check level. Should be one of 0=OK, 1=WARNING, 2=CRITICAL, 3=UNKNOWN. Defaults to 2 - CRITICAL.

workersedit

  • Value type is string
  • Default value is 1

TODO remove this in Logstash 6.0 when we no longer support the :legacy type This is hacky, but it can only be herne
