DESCRIPTION

Reads the Nagios status log and returns ::Status objects that can be used to get status information about a host. For Nagios version 2.x logs, pass in the Version => 2.0 parameter to new(). And similarly, pass in the Version => 3.0 parameter to new() for Nagios version 3.x logs.

 my $log = Nagios::StatusLog->new(
                Filename => "/var/opt/nagios/status.log",
                Version  => 1.0
           );
 $localhost = $log->host( "localhost" );
 print "status of localhost is now ",$localhost->status(),"\n";
 $log->update();
 print "status of localhost is now ",$localhost->status(),"\n";
 # for Nagios v2.0
 my $log = Nagios::StatusLog->new(
                Filename => "/var/cache/nagios2/status.dat",
                Version  => 2.0
           );
 # for Nagios v3.0
 my $log = Nagios::StatusLog->new(
                Filename => "/var/cache/nagios3/status.dat",
                Version  => 3.0
           );

STRUCTURE

This module contains 4 packages: Nagios::StatusLog, Nagios::Host::Status, Nagios::Service::Status, and Nagios::Program::Status. The latter 3 of them are mostly generated at compile-time in the BEGIN block. The accessor methods are real subroutines, not AUTOLOAD, so making a ton of calls to this module should be fairly quick. Also, update() is set up to only do what it says - updating from a fresh logfile should not invalidate your existing ::Status objects.
