nogql

Utilizes Node.js to create new host objects in Nagios using a REST request. This was the result of needing to automatically create new host entries after provisioning an environment.

Getting Started

It is under the assumption that you are already using Nagios/NagiosQL. You will then need to install nogql via npm like so:

$ npm install nogql

Fire it up by executing:

$ nogql [options]

Options

-a is the hostname to serve from (defautls to localhost)

-n is the location of the NagiosQL settings.php file

-p is the port to utilize (defaults to 8080)

-s will suppress logging

-h displays usage information

Usage

You can utilize the API functionality to currenly only add new hosts. The below is an example of just using a curl request:

$ nogql -n /path/to/nagiosql/config/settings.php -p 8081 -s &
$ curl -X POST http://localhost:8081/host -d '{"domain":"production", "address":"127.0.0.1", "check_command":"check-host-alive", "host_name":"host-test-001", "use":"generic-host"}' -v
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 8081 (#0)
> POST /host HTTP/1.1
> Host: localhost:8081
> Accept: */*
>
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Content-Type: application/json
< Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2014 18:01:41 GMT
< Connection: keep-alive
