python script to generate nagios configs
Hi,
I've created a python script to quickly generate Nagios configuration
files based on cobbler profiles, using xmlrpc.
Requirements:
1) Begin your partitions definitions with the following comment:
# BEGINPARTITIONS
and put
# ENDPARTITIONS
at the end. This is because the script will render the entire kickstart,
look for these 2 lines and take everything in the middle as partitions.
2) a working nagios installation
Syntax is: ./nagios.py -y systemname -k customername
It will then create a nagios configuration file as:
/etc/nagios/objects/customername/systemname.cfg
include this dir in your nagios.cfg
(cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/objects/customername) and restart Nagios.
It will also create a hostgroup.cfg in the same directory and add all
found systems' cfg files in that dir to it as members of the group.
Disclaimer: my python skills are sub-optimal. The code might require
some improvement ;)
