Re: [Nagiosplug-help] How to use an external file with data

Without knowing the details, wouldn't it be easy enough to use cron to run the commands, and use check_log to parse the local file created? Or, depending on the parsing logic you require, use the exit codes of a custom plugin script to shoot back to nagios. There is information on plugin development at http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.htmlthat pointed me in the right direction for custom stuff.
