===========
NSCA Client
===========

Send passive alert to your favorite NSCA daemon (Nagios, Shinken...).
This module is based on the Odoo cron system and requires a NSCA client
installed on the system to satisfy the ``/usr/sbin/send_nsca`` command.

Installation
============

To install this module, you need to install a NSCA client.

On Debian/Ubuntu::

    $ sudo apt-get install nsca-client

Then configure the NSCA client in ``/etc/send_nsca.cfg`` (password
and encryption method).

Configuration
=============

To configure this module, you need to:

* Configure your server and a passive service in your monitoring tool
  (e.g service ``Odoo Mail Queue`` on host ``MY-SERVER``).
* On Odoo, set the previous hostname in the system parameters::

    nsca_client.hostname = MY-SERVER

* Declare your NSCA server in the menu Configuration / Technical / NSCA Client / Servers

* Create NSCA checks in the menu Configuration / Technical / NSCA Client / Checks

.. image:: nsca_client/static/description/check.png
   :width: 400 px

* Code the methods which will be called by the NSCA checks.

Such methods must return a tuple ``(RC, MESSAGE)`` where ``RC`` is an integer,
and ``MESSAGE`` a unicode string. ``RC`` values and the corresponding status are:

- 0: OK
- 1: WARNING
- 2: CRITICAL
- 3: UNKNOWN

E.g:

.. code-block:: python

    class MailMail(models.Model):
        _inherit = 'mail.mail'

        @api.model
        def nsca_check_mails(self):
            mails = self.search([('state', '=', 'exception')])
            if mails:
                return (1, u"%s mails not sent" % len(mails))
            return (0, u"OK")
