             Summary: Alerts: Nagios Target for Notifications
                 Key: AMBARI-8165
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-8165
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: contrib
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Jonathan Hurley
            Assignee: Jonathan Hurley
             Fix For: 2.0.0


The Ambari Server will be responsible for scheduling the dispatching of alerts that have been received and not yet processed for outbound notification. On a schedule, Ambari will determine the alert targets that should be receiving some sort of notification and then it will gather all alert data for all alerts that are destined for that alert target.

Nagios is a required notification mechanism. The Nagios server will surface the current state of each alert defined in the system. In order to accomplish this there are two possible methods for implementation:

1) Write a python script that Nagios will execute on its own schedule which can then retrieve the current alerts from Ambari's REST APIs. The script will take a combination of parameters (host, security, certificate, etc) in order to make the requests.

2) Write a dispatcher that can handle pushing data to a Nagios server. There will no longer be an agent running on Nagios, so this method would need to work with Nagios' built-in mechanism, if any, for publishing data into Nagios.
