Nagios Scraper

Python application

Purpose:

If you are running multiple Nagios sessions in your browser, you need to constantly check in with them. If authentication is turned on, sometimes you have to re-login to them. This script is built to give ONE console of information from ALL your Nagios sources through the command line.

Installation:

  • Clone this repo into a directory.
  • Copy scraper.py.example to scraper.py
  • Edit scraper.py to add the parameters to your install:
    • Keep the existing structure. It is pure-Python that gets imported
    • First key is the URL, without the trailing slash (i.e. 'http://192.168.0.5/nagios':)
    • Each key has 3 required parameters:
      • user is the user that can log in to Nagios
      • password is their password
      • auth_type is either Basic or Digest. If one doesn't work, try the other.
    • You can have as many keys as you want, as long as the three parameters are specified
  • Ensure you have python3 installed (untested with Python2, which is EOL anyways)
  • Ensure you have pip3 installed to install the dependencies:
    • tabulate
    • bs4 (BeautifulSoup)
  • Run python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt to auto-install the required libraries
  • Run python3 nagios-scraper.py

If you mess up the configuration, copy the example file back over the official .conf file, and start again.

Output:

A table showing your Nagios instances, and the status of the hosts and services. Assuming the config file is updated with correct information, you will see something like this:

nagiosadmin@http://192.168.0.5/nagios:
                Hosts

Target Objectives (features to come)

  • Colour coding the results (i.e. green for good, red for bad) COMPLETED
  • Error handling
  • Web page output
