Background

I have a django app that shows host links to internal employees, wanted to grab status from Nagios without having to go to a bunch of trouble screen scraping. Found this quick script from Alex Wright, and modified it to work where I can call it from a Django function, then I just loop through my models and match the json object to the model.

Steps to deploy

Upload file: status2json.py below in github script link to your Nagios4 server. You can put this in your /usr/lib/cgi-bin/nagios4 directory and chmod +x status2json.py
