Released a new Version of the SCOM2Nagios Connector. Changes:

1.4

* NEW: variables for processing instruction
* NEW: change case of output (upper/lower)
* BUG: no crash if scom connection is lost
* BUG: no longer needs fullpath in config

Example:

<instruction>
<input field=”path” compare=”containsIgnoreCase”>mcscom</input>
<output field=”host” case=”upper”>$path</output>
</instruction>

If path contains mcscom than replace the host in the output with the upper case of the ObjectFullPath variable of the input alert.

Possible replacement variables:

path, netbios, fullname, severity, state, name, description, alertid

I have uploaded a release of the Nagios Connector 1.3. You can read about the changes in this post:

http://www.mbaeker.de/2009/10/preinfo-nagios2scom-1-3/
I have only made some short and fast tests. So be cautious.

If you not only want to connect OpsMgr to Nagios with my connector but other management systems to OpsMgr than the OpenUMR can perhaps help you.

It does more than just creating  alerts in SCOM: it even creates the correct objects for the alerts.

The new version is released here: http://www.mbaeker.de/2009/12/scom2nagios-1-3/

The next release will address two feature requests:

1. Possibility to change the hostname (you don’t use fqdn host names in nagios…)
2. Possibility to use more than one service in nagios (you want to separate the alerts for dns and acitve directory)

I will try to solve both by using “processing instructions”. This instructions will use the scom alert as an input filter and the nagios alert as the object to manipulate.

This instructions are defined in a xml file:

<?xml version=’1.0′ encoding=’ISO-8859-1′?>
<instructions>

<!–
field:
scom: path (of monitoringobject), fullname (of monitoringobject), severity, state, name (of alert), description
nagios: text, host, service, state

compare:
contains, containsIgnoreCase, equals, equalIgnoreCase

–>

<instruction>

<input field=”path” compare=”contains”>DNS</input>
<output field=”service”>DNS</output>
</instruction>

<instruction>
<input field=”state” compare=”equals”>255</input>
<output field=”text”>Everything is OK </output>
</instruction>

</instructions>

What do you think about this feature?

The main code is ready. It even compiles without problems… Next step is testing – but currently I have no operations manager test system with a connected nagios…

Attached is the new version of the SCOM2Nagios Connector.

There is just one small thing changed:

You can now define the OK message in config file. So no more german status messages in your nagios

And thanks to Thomas Karatzoglou we now have an english installation instruction in the file.
