Install

You need python and twisted. Optional 'daemon'.

• Download bot.py and save it where ever you chose.
• Make a fifo with "mkfifo ircpipe"
• Change MyChannel, MyIRCServer and MyPipe variables in bot.py
• In /etc/nagios/misccommands.cfg add :

define command{
  command_name notify-by-irc
  command_line /bin/echo "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $HOSTNAME$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$: $SERVICEOUTPUT$" > /usr/home/ircbot/pipe &
}

define command{
  command_name host-notify-by-irc
  command_line /bin/echo "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$: $HOSTOUTPUT$" > /usr/home/ircbot/pipe &
}

• Correct the path to the pipe if neccessary.

• Add the following in the contact of your choice (usually in /etc/nagios/contacts.cfg) service_notification_commands notify-by-irc host_notification_commands host-notify-by-irc

• You can now do "python bot.py" to start/test the bot

To make bot.py act as a service under debian/ubuntu :

• apt-get install daemon
• edit /etc/daemon.conf, add the line "ircbot command=/usr/bin/python /root/bot.py" with the correct path

And voila !

To start it : daemon --name ircbot To stop it : daemon --name ircbot --stop
