Faddom Events Integration for Nagios

Description

Send Nagios host and service notifications straight into Faddom, so every alert arrives with the application context around it.

Faddom is an agentless platform that continuously discovers your infrastructure and applications – servers, the applications running on them, and the dependencies and traffic between them – and keeps that picture current in real time. Teams use it for dependency mapping, cloud migration planning, security and cost visibility.

This integration brings your Nagios alerts into that picture. When Nagios raises a host or service notification, Faddom attaches it to the affected server, so you can immediately see which applications and downstream dependencies that alert actually touches – rather than triaging a hostname in isolation. Recovery notifications close the event automatically.

What you get

• Nagios host and service notifications delivered into Faddom in real time
• Events surfaced on the affected server, alongside its live dependencies
• Automatic problem/recovery pairing, so events open and close on their own
• Nagios states mapped to Faddom severities (Down/Critical -> Critical, Unreachable -> Error, Warning -> Warning, Unknown -> Notice, Up/OK -> OK)
• Optional flapping notifications
• Per-host and per-service control – you attach a single contact to exactly what you want reported

How it works

Faddom provides a Nagios configuration snippet defining two notification commands and a faddom-contact. The commands curl each notification to Faddom’s events webhook, authenticated with a Faddom API token stored in a Nagios user macro.

Nagios Core – install the .cfg, register it in nagios.cfg, and attach faddom-contact to the hosts and services you want reported.

Nagios XI – no file install. Copy the two command lines from the .cfg into CCM > Commands, create the contact in CCM > Contacts, and assign it to hosts and services (the Bulk Modifications Tool handles this at scale).

Works with Nagios Core 4.4.7+ and Nagios XI. Requires Faddom v2026.2 or later.
