Hi andy, as for the tac.cgi i think your best bet is to parse the html.
Alternatively if you have pynag installed on the nagios server you can use this script: import pynag.Parsers s = pynag.Parsers.status() s.parse() all_services = s.data['servicestatus'] unhandled_problems = [service for service in all_services if service['current_state'] != '0' and service['problem_has_been_acknowledged'] == '0' ] print len(unhandled_problems) If your script is not running on the nagios server itself, consider using mklivestatus to get the total number of problems (either shell script or pynag) Kind regards, Pall Sigurdsson ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Moran" <amo...@apple.com> To: "Nagios Users List" <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 7:00:41 PM Subject: [Nagios-users] parsing tac.cgi output Does tac.cgi have a way to output JSON or XML or another machine-parsable output? Specifically I'm looking to have an external script query the number of un-acknowledged critical problems in the nagios cluster. Apologies if this has been asked before.
