nagios integration

Hi, how do folks do nagios integration? I read at some places that some do it, but I cannot see how this is done in a smooth way. What I can do is putting all nagios messages into one queue via postmaster filter, but it would be good if all nagios messages concerning one problem (i.e. notifications "warning", "critical", "acknoledgement", "ok") would go into the same ticket. Otherwise, I have multiple tickets for the sam e problem, and since it is not possible to merge tickets it's a bit of work to clean them up. Failing that, it would make sense for us if all nagios messages would go into the *same* ticket (forever), which is re-opened every time a new problem shows up. Is it possible to set up postmaster filter to feed filtered messages to a specific ticket? I seem not to find the correct X-OTRS header line for that.

I would write a Perl script to pipe notifications in existing tickets or in new ones, matching two variables: alert type (PROBLEM or RECOVERY) and service name. New tickets should be created if no tickets are currently open with the same variables. Also, a nice script could modify auto-responses to trigger some kind of automatic outage disclosure (say: "we will get back to you ASAP; in the mean time note that we're experiencing problems on a webserver, check this page to verify the status of your account..."). - Alessandro
