salt.returners.nagios_nrdp_return¶

Return salt data to Nagios

The following fields can be set in the minion conf file:

nagios.url (required)
nagios.token (required)
nagios.service (optional)
nagios.check_type (optional)

Alternative configuration values can be used by prefacing the configuration. Any values not found in the alternative configuration will be pulled from the default location:

nagios.url
nagios.token
nagios.service

Nagios settings may also be configured as:

  nagios:
      url: http://localhost/nrdp
      token: r4nd0mt0k3n
      service: service-check

  alternative.nagios:
      url: http://localhost/nrdp
      token: r4nd0mt0k3n
      service: another-service-check

To use the Nagios returner, append '--return nagios' to the salt command. ex:

.. code-block:: bash

  salt '*' test.ping --return nagios

To use the alternative configuration, append '--return_config alternative' to the salt command. ex:

  salt '*' test.ping --return nagios --return_config alternative

To override individual configuration items, append --return_kwargs '{"key:": "value"}' to the salt command.

New in version 2016.3.0.

salt '*' test.ping --return nagios --return_kwargs '{"service": "service-name"}'
