Extracting information from Config files /text processing
Hello All,
This is my first post on this forums, which I consider one of the best of its kind. The reason for my post is that I want to export some information form Nagios configuration files to a DB. I know that there are other tools available to do this, like NDO, monarch, etc... But I want to do it my self as I have different requests and I will like to improve my scripting capabilities
This is an example from hosts.cfg file:
Code:
# 'SACVMW02' host definition
define host{
use generic-host ; Name of host template to use
host_name SACVMW02
alias ESX SERVER
address 10.10.10.110
check_command check-host-alive
contact_groups NETWORKSGDL,CSG,DBAS,OPSGSSC
notification_interval 30
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,r
}
# 'CALUX901' host definition
define host{
use generic-host ; Name of host template to use
host_name CALUX901
alias Calgary Unix Servers
address 10.120.240.16
check_command check-host-alive
contact_groups MONITORING,CAL-UNIX-ADMINS,NETWORKSGDL
notification_interval 60
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,r
}
I will like to know if there is a way to use a for loop that reads the text inside the { }'s, to define the first column inside it as a variable (or array in case of contact_groups, which has many comma separated values) and second column as value. It will also have to discard comments (# and ; lines)
Any suggestion is welcome, I already did some scripts that do the job using grep, sed and awk; reading line by line, but I think that there are other easier approaches that might improve the script, like reading text blocks instead of lines....
Dear friends,
I'm a novice Unix user and I'm trying to learn the ropes. I have a big task I have to accomplish and I'm convinced Unix can get the job done, I just haven't figured out how. I recently posted on the topic of cutting text between unique text patterns and somebody helped me a great... (24 Replies)

yodlpost - Yodl post-processor
SYNOPSIS
yodlpost [options] index yodlout [out]
DESCRIPTION
The Yodl post processor is used to solve references into the converted text, and to split (where appropriate) the converted Yodl text in
parts. Some conversions do not require post-processing, such as LaTeX, but most do. Therefore, in most cases a Yodl conversion consists of
two phases:
o First, yodl(1) is called, producing a raw output file and an associated index file;
o Then, yodlpost(1) is called, converting these two files into a final document. Normally, yodl2...(1) scripts are used to perform
complete Yodl conversions.
OPTIONS -x ext: extension of the out-s if different from out's extension itself. If omitted, and out has no extension, ypp (Yodl Post Processor) is
used.
