Net::NSCA::Client::DataPacket - Implements data packet for the NSCA protocol
This documentation refers to Net::NSCA::Client::DataPacket version 0.001
use Net::NSCA::Client; use Net::NSCA::Client::DataPacket; # Create a packet from scratch my $packet = Net::NSCA::Client::DataPacket->new( hostname => 'www.example.net, service_description => 'Apache', service_message => 'OK - Apache running', service_status => $Net::NSCA::Client::STATUS_OK, unix_timestamp => $iv_timestamp, ); # Create a packet recieved from over the network my $recieved_packet = Net::NSCA::Client::DataPacket->new($recieved_data);
Represents the data packet used in the NSCA protocol.
This is fully object-oriented, and as such before any method can be used, the constructor needs to be called to create an object to work with.
This will construct a new object.
%attributes is a HASH where the keys are attributes (specified in the "ATTRIBUTES" section).
%attributes
$attributes is a HASHREF where the keys are attributes (specified in the "ATTRIBUTES" section).
$attributes
$packet_string is a string of the data packet in the network form.
$packet_string
# Set an attribute $object->attribute_name($new_value); # Get an attribute my $value = $object->attribute_name;
Required
This is the host name of the host as listed in Nagios that the service belongs to.
This is the version of the packet to be sent. A few different NSCA servers use slightly different version numbers, but the rest of the packet is the same. If not specified, this will default to 3.
This is the service description as listed in Nagios of the service that this report will be listed under.
This is the message that will be given to Nagios.
This is the status of the service that will be given to Nagios. It is recommended to use one of the $STATUS_ constants provided by Net::NSCA::Client.
$STATUS_
This is a UNIX timestamp, which is an integer specifying the number of non-leap seconds since the UNIX epoch. This will default to the current UNIX timestamp.
This methods returns the string representation of the data packet. This string representation is what will be sent over the network.
