A Nagios event handler to push Nagios notifications to Cachet API

• Have a working Cachet installation
• Have created some Cachet components to play with
• Have a Nagios instance with PHP CLI and php-curl installed

• Get a Cachet API key: Create a new user in Cachet dashboard, login with this user, and get the API key in his profile.
• Clone this repo to /usr/share/nagios3/plugins/eventhandlers (depending on your configuration)
• Rename config.inc.php.example to config.inc.php and replace the Cachet credentials with your own
• Try it: ./cachet_notify 'My Cachet component' 'My nagios service' CRITICAL HARD 'The service is Critical'

• Make a Nagios command:

  define command {
      command_name    cachet_notify
      command_line    /usr/share/nagios3/plugins/eventhandlers/cachet_notify '$ARG1$' '$SERVICEDESC$ - $HOSTADDRESS$' '$SERVICESTATE$' '$SERVICESTATETYPE$' '$SERVICEOUTPUT$' '$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$'
  }

• Add an event handler on your services:

  define service {
      service_description             My nagios service
      ...
      event_handler                   cachet_notify!My Cachet component
  }

• Restart nagios
