hubot-nagios adds nagios monitoring support to hubot
This plugin enables hubot to react to nagios notification as well as request current service state or acknowledge problems.
It requires custom notification commands and a contact on the nagios side as well. On notification nagios runs a simple curl call to relay the event to hubot. For this to work, hubot needs to listen on an IP that is reachable from nagios.
Add hubot-nagios to your package.json, run npm install and add hubot-nagios to external-scripts.json.

You need to specify the chat room to use for build events and the cctray.xml to use on startup:
% HUBOT_NAGIOS_EVENT_NOTIFIER_ROOM="#roomname" \
bin/hubot
Within nagios configuration you need to add a new contact that calls the hubot webhook:
define contact {
alias hubot
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r
contact_name hubot
email [email protected]
host_notification_options d,r
service_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-hubot
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-hubot
}
And add this new contact as a member to at least one contactgroup.
You need to add these new commands:
define command {
command_name notify-service-by-hubot
command_line /usr/bin/curl -d host="$HOSTALIAS$" -d serviceoutput="$SERVICEOUTPUT$" -d servicedescription="$SERVICEDESC$" -d notificationtype="$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$" -d servicestate="$SERVICESTATE$" https://username:[email protected]/hubot/nagios/service
}
define command {
command_name notify-host-by-hubot
command_line /usr/bin/curl -d host="$HOSTNAME$" -d hostoutput="$HOSTOUTPUT$" -d notificationtype="$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$" -d hoststate="$HOSTSTATE$" https://username:[email protected]/hubot/nagios/host
}
That's it!
