Convert Livestatus command line to a service check for a host

davidwayne · February 12, 2021, 4:09pm

I have a Livetsatus command that I used to query a host and I want to create a service check for those hosts with the output from the Livestatus command.

Is there a way to do that ? I though of using local checks but “lq” doesn’t exist on my host.

Hi,
you can use livestatus in a network environment:

Yes this should work I think. Is it a good idea to do that for all the hosts in my monitoring because I was interested in executing the same livestatus command from all my hosts probable like once a day ?
