| Description |
bbnt2ns is a perl script that listens for messages from the Big Brother NT
client. It then takes these messages and feeds them to Netsaint as
a passive service check. The Big Brother NT client also works under Windows
2000.
NEWS: bbnt2ns also works with the new version of Netsaint, called
Nagios. All you have to do is change
the location of the external command file in the script. Set it to point to
the nagios directory, usually "/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd",
and the script will work fine as the nagios syntax is the same as Netsaint.
A big thanks to Christoph Weinandt for testing out bbnt2ns with Nagios!
MORE NEWS: Here is an example of a nagios service definition using
bbnt2ns:
define service {
host_name myhost
service_description cpu
active_checks_enabled 0
check_command ping
}
Note that the active_checks_enabled setting must be 0 to keep
the check_command setting from conflicting with the passive
checks done for bbnt2ns. Thanks to Clay Fandre for testing bbnt2ns
with nagios and sending in this configuration example!
