Nagios View

a simple CLI dashboard for nagios using the status.dat file

NOTE: as of right now this acts as a "dashboard" - it can only read status.

Examples

Run nagios-view with no arguments to get a summary of everything in Nagios

Add -p to only show hosts and services that are "problems" - anything not in the OK state

Anything provided as the first operand will be used to filter by service and hostname (case sensitive)

Filter for specific services

Add --services-only to remove breaks for different hosts and to prepend the hostname to the service line

Filter for a specific host

Use --hosts-only to only report on host status

Combine a lot of different arguments to get a custom dashboard
