NAGIRCBOT(1) General Commands Manual NAGIRCBOT(1)
NAME
nagircbot - announce Nagios status to an IRC channel
SYNOPSIS
nagircbot [-CdeHmRStxX] [-A REGEX] [-c CHANNEL] [-f FILE] [-F HOST[:PORT]] [-i INTERVAL] [-I INTERVAL] [-k KEYWORD] [-n NICK] [-N PREFIX]
[-p PASSWORD] [-P FILE] [-s HOST[:PORT]] [-T LIST] [-u USERNAME] [-U NAME] [-z USER]
DESCRIPTION
nagircbot is an IRC bot that reads Nagios' status information and emits alerts to an IRC channel. It can filter alerts based on severity
(CRITICAL, HARD, SOFT, and/or UNKNOWN) or by regular expression. It can connect to IRC servers protected by password or SSL, and can
optionally set the topic to the current Nagios status.
OPTIONS
-A REGEX
Filter (omit) lines that match a basic regular expression.
-c CHANNEL
Channel to connect to, including the leading "#" (default: "#nagircbot").
-C Use colors in IRC messages.
-d Do not fork into the background.
-e Use encryption (SSL) when connecting to the IRC server.
-f FILE
Path to Nagios' status.log, indicated by the 'status_file' parameter in nagios.cfg (default: "/usr/local/nagios/var/status.log").
-F HOST[:PORT]
Retrieve status.log over the network. If no port is specified, the default is 33333.
-H Only announce alerts in 'HARD' state. This is the default.
-i INTERVAL
Nagios alert check interval, in seconds (default: 60).
-I INTERVAL
How often to announce Nagios global status in the channel, in seconds. Specify an interval of 0 (the default) to disable. Do not
specify an interval smaller than the alert check (-i) interval.
-k KEYWORD
Keyword for the channel (default: no keyword).
-m Display status information for an alert in separate IRC messages instead of combining on a single message.
-n NICK
IRC nick to use (default: "nagircbot").
-N PREFIX
Prefix for all in-channel IRC messages.
-p PASSWORD
IRC server password.
-P FILE
Write PID file.
-R Only announce CRITICAL/UNKNOWN alerts.
-s HOST[:PORT]
IRC server to connect to. If not specified, the default is "localhost:6667". If no port is specified, the default is 33333.
-S Also announce alerts in 'SOFT' state.
-t Set the channel topic to an alert summary.
-T LIST
Enable checks to see if Nagios is still running. Send 'check' in a private message to invoke the check. Accepts a comma-seperated
list (without spaces) with the following elements: max_time_last_host_update, max_time_oldest_host_update, max_time_last_host_check,
max_time_oldest_host_check, max_time_last_service_check, max_time_oldest_service_check, and max_time_oldest_next_service_check.
-u USERNAME
Username to log into the IRC server as.
-U NAME
IRC "real" or full name (default: "nagircbot").
-x status.log is in Nagios 1.0 format.
-X status.log is in Nagios 2.0/3.0 format. This is the default.
-z USER
User to run as.
