Configure Nagios on Linux

To set up Nagios on Linux, follow these steps.

• Download the nagios2json plugin.

• Build and install as described in the documentation:

1. Run make.

2. Rename the built binary to 'nagios2json.cgi' (this step may not be needed).

3. Copy the built binary to the Nagios "cgi-bin" folder (for example, /usr/lib/nagios/cgi-bin).

1. Follow the instructions in the TNT4J-Streams documentation.

2. Edit the tnt-data-source.xml parser configuration file and update your Nagios server IP (URL), username, and password, and the nagios2json parameters (e.g., servicestatustypes=31).

    <step name="Step 1"
        url="http://[YOUR_NAGIOS_SERVER_IP]/nagios/cgi-bin/nagios2json.cgi?servicestatustypes=31"
        method="GET"
        username="myNagiosUserName"
        password="myNagiosUserSecretPassword">
        <schedule-cron expression="0/15 * * * * ? *" />
    </step>

3. If needed, change the field mappings for the reported data to suit your needs.

Sample report data is available in the report.json file.
