Version: 3.0.2
Released on: 2016-07-14
Changelog

This plugin does not ship with Logstash by default, but it is easy to install by running bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-output-nagios_nsca.

The nagios_nsca output is used for sending passive check results to Nagios through the NSCA protocol.

This is useful if your Nagios server is not the same as the source host from where you want to send logs or alerts. If you only have one server, this output is probably overkill # for you, take a look at the nagios output instead.

Here is a sample config using the nagios_nsca output:

    output {
      nagios_nsca {
        # specify the hostname or ip of your nagios server
        host => "nagios.example.com"

    # specify the port to connect to
    port => 5667
  }
}

Details

edit

`codec`

edit

Value type is codec
Default value is "plain"

The codec used for output data. Output codecs are a convenient method for encoding your data before it leaves the output, without needing a separate filter in your Logstash pipeline.

`enable_metric`

edit

Value type is boolean
Default value is true

Disable or enable metric logging for this specific plugin instance by default we record all the metrics we can, but you can disable metrics collection for a specific plugin.

`host`

edit

Value type is string
Default value is "localhost"

The nagios host or IP to send logs to. It should have a NSCA daemon running.

`id`

edit

Value type is string
There is no default value for this setting.

Add a unique ID to the plugin instance, this ID is used for tracking information for a specific configuration of the plugin.

output {
 stdout {
   id => "ABC"
 }
}

If you don’t explicitely set this variable Logstash will generate a unique name.

`message_format`

edit

Value type is string
Default value is "%{@timestamp} %{host}: %{message}"

The format to use when writing events to nagios. This value supports any string and can include %{name} and other dynamic strings.

`nagios_host`

edit

Value type is string
Default value is "%{host}"

The nagios host you want to submit a passive check result to. This parameter accepts interpolation, e.g. you can use @source_host or other logstash internal variables.

`nagios_service`

edit

Value type is string
Default value is "LOGSTASH"

The nagios service you want to submit a passive check result to. This parameter accepts interpolation, e.g. you can use @source_host or other logstash internal variables.
