Nagios jabber notification using XMPP protocol and SASL PLAIN authentication

Nagios can be configured to send notifications by various means, including Jabber, which these days includes Google talk’s XMPP service.

1)  Create notify_via_jabber plugin

## Configuration
my $username = "your.google.username";
my $password = "your.google.password";

## End of configuration
my $len = scalar @ARGV;
if ($len ne 2) {
   die "Usage...\n $0 [jabberid] [message]\n";
}
my @field=split(/,/,$ARGV[0]);
#------------------------------------
# Google Talk & Jabber parameters :
my $hostname = 'talk.google.com';
my $port = 5222;
my $componentname = 'gmail.com';
my $connectiontype = 'tcpip';
my $tls = 1;
#------------------------------------
my $Connection = new Net::XMPP::Client();

2) We need to configure new command in command.cfg as follows

#Host Notifications

define command{
 command_name host-notify-by-jabber
 command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$ \nState: $HOSTSTATE$\n Address: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/notify_via_jabber $CONTACTPAGER$ "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **"
 }

# Service notifications

define command{
 command_name notify-by-jabber
 command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$ \nState: $HOSTSTATE$\n Address: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/notify_via_jabber $CONTACTPAGER$ "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $SERVICEDESC$ on $HOSTNAME$ State: $SERVICESTATE$ **"
 }

3)  Verify the new configuration

nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

4)  Restart Nagios

If everything is configured fine then nagios will alert you about host/service status to the given address.
