Nagios After samples are taken run a process

Trying to set up a nagios process which, after it samples my servers, it runs a process. What I want this process to do is write the resultant data to a log file, something I can post to another process (like splunk, b开发者_运维知识库ut NOT splunk) Basically, I want to take each sample returned and send it to another URL.

What's the best way to do this?

If you want the events sent to another log in standard syslog format (i.e. for Splunk) just set use_syslog=1 in nagios.conf (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagioscore/3/en/configmain.html). You can the configure syslog to send the the messages to a separate logfile and/or another syslog host.

Theres probably a better way to do this, but I would just use some tool like sec [http://simple-evcorr.sourceforge.net/ ] or write your own handler that tails the nagios log file. It has all the raw info you need in a standard format.
