/optnagios/ - is that an actual paste or a typo on your part?
If your hostname, servicedesc, servicestateid or serviceoutput contain
spaces or special characters, you'll want to quote them above.

Nagios doesn't run this as root, you shouldn't either. Permission
problems not seen when testing as root are a common issue when
integrating something new. Also note that the way you are testing is
different than the command_line you specify above in many ways.

Re: [Nagios-users] any solution which will allow me to forward Nagios alerts to Netcool?
Hi Max
Thanks for your help!
I am now ok to use the snmptrap to send out alert. But it seems the
nagios doesn't involk the send_trap script to do the job.
I setup same on a vm with nagios and use my laptop with wireshark to
monitor incoming snmp traffic.
In localhost.cfg, I changed to 1 and 2 for current users to create
warning.
I can see warning on nagios UI but still nothing to capture on sniffer
with
port 162. unless I manual to send trap..anything I mssing? I also
attached
the result that sniffer recieved, and my cfg as below. please advise,
Thanks!

Does Netcool have a trap receiver? If so, you can forward alerts with
SNMP. We forward Nagios notifications to Spectrum by sending them as
traps using the NAGIOS-NOTIFY-MIB service and host events .. works
quite well.

Re: [Nagios-users] any solution which will allow me to forward Nagios alerts to Netcool?
I wrote something for two way connection to netcool... For alerts themselves i use the tivoli command postemsg, if you have the license for that EIF probe, and wrote a shell script wrapper which gets executed by nagios as a notification command. I wrote something that reads the nagios log for problem ack/remove problem ack, sched downtime, add comments, del comments then sends postemsg commands to omnibus to let it know something is ack/down. I then created a fakehost/fakeservice which omnibus uses to send me external commands, so if someone is using netcool UI instead of nagios and want to sched downtime they do by formatting the appropriate command and sending to nagios via nsca (all this is behind the scenes in a web interface) printf fakehost\tfakservice\t3\tACK_SVC_PROB:host:arg:arg:arg...\n" |send_nsca The downtime deletion is a bit harder... I use host ifservice start/end time in epoch as identifiers and when omnibus sends me a del downtime i read in the status.log (or downtime.log for nagios2) and find the downtime id to delete.

Re: [Nagios-users] any solution which will allow me to forward Nagios alerts to Netcool?
Max Thanks! I believe netcool has receiver. If not, I will inform netcool engineer to configure one. So how to configure nagios to to send alert using NAGIOS-NOTIFY-MIB service and host events ? Could you please provide some more info/doc/url I can refer to ? Thanks !
