Yeah I twigged just after posting that a report is probably the best
way to do this so i can analyze the results
at the moment I have this :
require 'puppet'
Puppet::Reports.register_report(:nagios) do
Puppet.settings.use(:reporting)
desc "Sends reports directly to Nagios"
def process
begin
exec "/usr/lib/nagios/eventhandlers/submit_puppet_result
10.30.0.101 puppet-report 0 \"There has been no change\""
end
end
end
http://pastie.org/1567064 in case email formatting munges things
and i've configured puppetmasterd like so
reports = log, store, rrdgraph, smt, tagmail, nagios
but when I do a puppet run I get
2011-02-15T17:00:24.00+00:00 vfantmon1 puppetmasterd[28860]: Report
nagios failed: no block given
any idea what i've done wrong?
Thanks,
Rus
