Feature: Kafka Active Check sub/pub #542

Open dbcummings opened 5 years ago

dbcummings commented 5 years ago

Allow NCPA active checks to subscribe to Kafka. This would allow Nagios XI to publish to Kafka a configuration update for active checks and allow NCPA to receive that request and update its configuration.

Is Nagios NERD still viable? that might be more Nagioscentric than Kafka, which implies a certain architecture deployment strategy.

dbcummings commented 5 years ago

Full Kafka integration allows for Nagios/Nagios XI to be part of a larger monitoring metric/event enterprise strategy.

If you mean NRDS @ericloyd it does still exist but needs some love - as for Kafka I am not really sure yet I will look into it, currently we only support sending out passive check results via Kafka.

jomann09 commented 5 years ago

Actually looks like Nagios NERD was a thing, not sure about that :)

ericloyd commented 5 years ago

I was at the Nagios World Conference where NERD was announced. Then....crickets.

jomann09 commented 5 years ago

Also to that point it looks like the only changes made to it were to disable it by default https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/blob/master/base/nerd.c

This is the basic architecture of what I am requesting.
