Help for integration

Hi, sorry to disturb anyone, I know that this is not an issue but on my new work, my boss requests me that if I could use Nagstamon to connect to our own python + django rest api application.

The application that we have developed with python and DRF is a monitoring application with alerts and we need to Nagstamon has to be able to connect our application. To accomplish that I've thought to simulate that my python application is a Nagios, or a Zabbix, or some monitoring application that Nagstamon allows to connect.

Any idea that how could I do this?

I've thought to create an specific endpoint with basic authentication and serve to nagstamon the request that, I guess, it sends to different monitoring applications.

Thanks in advance

Fran

@FranB1989 in the Servers directory you find all currently available and all individual servers.

Hey Henri, thanks for the answer, I've used the check_mk connector to simulate that I'm a check_mk server.
Finally I've made a new endpoint on my application and I'm trying to develop all the logic that Check MK uses to comunicacte with Nagstamon.

For that I've could seen, Nagstamon makes some HTTP requests with some arguments to check mk and this respond with the values that check mk needs to show the alerts in this grid.

Thinking about of that, It is possible to show the "generic" server in the combo box of Nagstamon to use this generic server to connect?

Thanks!

Well, as Nagstamon being started in 2008, once upon a time the generic server was just Nagios, being the grandfather of a lot of monitoring servers. So if you want to use generic access just use Nagios, but honestly this is the worst choice if you are able to design the API on your own. Most of Nagios' descendants chose to serve with an API, while Nagios still delivers pure HTML which Nagstamon scrapes and evaluates.
