Hooking script into Nagios

Hi!

I have a perl script which returns data in the following format -

Code:

AppName : BillingApp
	"status" = "OK";

AppName : PaymentApp
        "status" = "WARN";

AppName : OrderApp
         "status" = "ERROR";

AppName : OrderApp
         "status" = "FATAL";

the output consists of 100+ apps, with each one of them returning their status.

Here is what I need -

Want to create a wrapper script which returns a cumulative summary. I need a step by step instructions on how to hook a script like this into nagios?

What I desire -

Instead of a cumulative result, can I display the result in Nagios on a per application basis using this one script (and a wrapper script on top of it)?
I would need clear instructions here.

If you can also provide me with a wrapper script for reference in relation to how the result can be presented to Nagios that would be great.

Please help!!

Thanks,
Jack

NAME

       Nagios - network/systems status monitoring daemon

SYNOPSIS

       nagios [-h] [-v] [-s] [-d] <main_config_file>

DESCRIPTION

       nagios  is a daemon program that monitors the status of various network accessible systems, devices, and more. For more information, please
       consult the online documentation available at http://www.nagios.org, or on your nagios server's web page.

OPTIONS

       main_config_file
	      The main configuration file.  On openSUSE systems this defaults to /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

       -h     A helpful usage message

       -v     Reads all data in the configuration files and performs a basic verification/sanity check.  Always make sure you verify  your  config
	      data before (re)starting Nagios. You can also use the Nagios init script to verify your configuration - try: rcnagios check_verbose

       -s     Shows projected/recommended check scheduling information based on the current data in the configuration files.

       -d     Starts Nagios in daemon mode (instead of as a foreground process).

FILES

       /etc/nagios
	      Default configuration directory for nagios

       openSUSE.
