[Xymon] Capture and send data To Elasticsearch and Kibana

[OUTTERYCK Francois]

Hello, I just do a small work with Xymon in order to send status data to Elasticsearch. And with Kibana reporting is easy.

How it work ? Simple : With capture of status message (xymond_channel --channel=status /home/xymon/server/ext/capture.sh ) script encode  status message in json and send as document in elasticSearch.

Example of Mapping document status in elasticsearch :

"status"=> array(
                     "properties"=>array(
                          "ServerName"=> array("type"=> "string"),
                          "Type"=> array("type"=> "string"),
                          "Status"=> array("type"=> "string"),
                          "LastChange"=> array("type"=> "date","format"=> "strict_date_optional_time"),
                          "LogTime"=> array("type"=> "date","format"=> "strict_date_optional_time"),
                          "ValidTime"=> array("type"=> "date","format"=> "strict_date_optional_time"),
                          "AckTime"=> array("type"=> "date","format"=> "strict_date_optional_time"),
                          "DisableTime"=> array("type"=> "date","format"=> "strict_date_optional_time"),
                          "Sender"=> array("type"=> "string"),
                          "DisableMSg"=> array("type"=> "string"),
                          "Message"=> array("type"=> "string")
                     )
                )

All is done with a 130 lines script. So simple to integrate in existing environment and so powerfull usage of  Xymon/elasticsearch/Kibana
