The Nagios Notifier allows you to send notifications to a central monitoring server running Nagios. It uses the NSCA (Nagios Service Check Acceptor) addon, available from the Nagios SourceForge project page. The Notifier sends service_host, service_name, the model’s exit status code and a message to the nagios_host.

Model exit status codes are:

• 0: Successful
• 1: Successful with Warnings
• 2: Failed, but other triggers will be processed.
• 3: Failed, no other triggers will be processed.
