Nagios JSON API

Intended to provide a JSON API like features for Nagios installations. Its written in golang and therefore systems wanting to run it only need to run a single binary for their distribution.

Installation:

Follow golang installation to install golang.

Clone this repo.

Run: go build . from inside repo directory.

You can now use the standalone binary to run the service.

Run:

$ ./nagios-api --addr=:9090 --cachefile=/opt/nagios/object.cache --statusfile=/opt/nagios/status.dat --commandfile=/opt/nagios/nagios.cmd

Or you can provide a configuration file with these parameter in json format (configuration file overwrites cli flags)

$ ./nagios-api --config=nagios-api.json

It will start the api service on port 8080. If you wish to change the port simply pass --addr=:80 to make it run on port 80. For running in production see init scripts.
