## README

# Ledbetter

Ledbetter is a simple script for gathering Nagios problem statistics and submitting them to Graphite. It focuses on summary (overall, servicegroup and hostgroup) statistics and writes them to the `nagios.problems` metrics namespace within Graphite.

## Installation

Clone the GitHub repository and use Bundler to install the gem dependencies.

```
$ git clone https://github.com/github/ledbetter.git
$ cd ledbetter
$ bundle install
```

## Usage

Ledbetter requires a number of environment variables for runtime configuration. The following example demonstrates how to run it manually from the command line, but you would typically run it as a cron job.

```
$ export NAGIOS_URL=http://nagios.foo.com/cgi-bin/nagios3
$ export NAGIOS_USER=foo
$ export NAGIOS_PASS=bar
$ export CARBON_URL=carbon://localhost:2003
$ bundle exec ruby ledbetter.rb
```

Optionally you can set `DEBUG=1` to also print statistics to `stdout`. `CARBON_PREFIX` can also be set to override the default namespace (`nagios.problems`).

```
$ DEBUG=1 bundle exec ruby ledbetter.rb
nagios.problems.all 41 1359170720
nagios.problems.critical 27 1359170720
nagios.problems.warning 12 1359170720
nagios.problems.unknown 2 1359170720
nagios.problems.servicegroups.apache 0 1359170720
nagios.problems.servicegroups.backups 3 1359170720
nagios.problems.servicegroups.dns 0 1359170720
nagios.problems.servicegroups.mysql 1 1359170720
...
```
