Description
editThe 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
(overridesnagios_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 } } }

Details
edit
codec
edit- 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.
commandfile
edit- Value type is string
-
Default value is
"/var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd"
The full path to your Nagios command file.
enable_metric
edit- 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.
id
edit- Value type is string
- There is no default value for this setting.
Add a unique ID
to the plugin configuration. If no ID is specified, Logstash will generate one.
It is strongly recommended to set this ID in your configuration. This is particularly useful
when you have two or more plugins of the same type, for example, if you have 2 grok filters.
Adding a named ID in this case will help in monitoring Logstash when using the monitoring APIs.
output { stdout { id => "my_plugin_id" } }
nagios_level
edit-
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.
