python script to generate nagios configs

[Léon Keijser]

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 ;)

Everything can be found under 'leon-nagios' at:

Kind regards,

Hi Leon,

Very interesting, I'd be interested in checking this out for sure.  

I noticed your git tree seems to be empty, am I looking in the right place?

I was looking here:   
http://bender.newnewyork.nl/git/gitweb.cgi?p=leon-nagios/.git;a=tree
