Would rate as excellent, if not for a bug. When you search for services, it lists all found services with the status 'PENDING' and with an empty status information, even when they are ok. The Host search works fine. This is for Nagios-core 4.4.3 (currently the latest release).

I followed the installation steps and verified that the permissions are correct on the file, but I was getting an "Internal Server Error" when I search. I found that I needed to install perl-CGI in my CentOS server. Hope this helps someone!
Thanks for this. Can't believe something like this isn't already built into Nagios.

I really like the regex of it all. Searches most things. But I have found that when the host alias is missing it does not work properly.
Also the search does a grep -A INT so if the configuration is less default and places the grep'ed variable outside of the lookahead it will fail also.
example:
grep -EA2 "define[ ]+host[ ]+" /path/to/objects.cache | grep -Eo "(host_name|alias).+"
if alias is on position 3+ it will miss it.
Perhaps first grep all the required parameters and then split the ones you want. Something like below.
example:
grep "(host_name|alias|define[ ]+host[ ]+).+" |grep -EA2 "define[ ]+host[ ]+" /path/to/objects.cache | grep -Eo "(host_name|alias).+"

One thing it needs is, column sorting. I've been trying to add sorting to it - but I am no expert. Other than that, intergration was easy and I like it a lot.

Buit-in search in Nagios 3 and 4 is poor.
This plugin is cool and must be in Nagios by default.
Thanks!
