21:47 < OMZ_zepher> So. what shall I make today?
21:48 < lefred> a nagios pluging for Tux
21:48 < OMZ_zepher> Hmm..
21:48 < OMZ_zepher> Sure, why not.
21:48 < OMZ_zepher> What must it do?
21:49 < lefred> let the tux notify the alerts would be fine
21:50 < OMZ_zepher> I`ll give it a go
21:50 < OMZ_zepher> It's been a year though
21:56 < OMZ_zepher> Not forgetting the fact that I've no clue how nagios sends its alerts. But thats just a minor setback
21:58 < OMZ_zepher> Ah.
21:58 < lefred>
22:05  * OMZ_zepher reads http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/eventhandlers.html
22:07 < OMZ_zepher> Ok. Let's begin
22:09 < lefred>
22:09 < lefred> I go to bed cya later
22:09 < OMZ_zepher> Haha, ok
22:10 < OMZ_zepher> I`ll send it to you tomorrow then
22:34 < OMZ_zepher> Done
22:34 < OMZ_zepher> Ok. Now to make a readme, and then i`ll post it on the forums

Thanks OMZ_zepher, I'll have a look at it asap and put feedback !

cheers

This is a little update.

It now loads the tux modules and connects to the deamon only when needed,

This should decrease overhead.

I had to replace $SERVICEDISPLAY$ by $SERVICEDESC$ (on nagios 3)

My next step will be to try to send the notification via tcp because usualy the nagios is on a remote server and the Tux will be connected to my laptop

But your script will be very usefull

Another idea (if you are sitll looking for some ideas to develop) : a jabber/xmpp client for the Tux, so we could send commands via jabber to it, would be nice for remote control

lefred.

Haha! Awesome

Please post the modifications you make, I could use the TCP'd version at work.

Hmm. I dont know a lot about jabber/xmpp. So it will be fun.

I`ll give it a peek.
