问题
I'd like to parse status.dat file for nagios3 and output as xml with a python script.
The xml part is the easy one but how do I go about parsing the file? Use multi line regex?
It's possible the file will be large as many hosts and services are monitored, will loading the whole file in memory be wise?
I only need to extract services that have critical state and host they belong to.
Any help and pointing in the right direction will be highly appreciated.
LE Here's how the file looks:

It can have any number of hosts and a host can have any number of services.

Nagiosity does exactly what you want:

Having shamelessly stolen from the above examples, Here's a version build for Python 2.4 that returns a dict containing arrays of nagios sections.
def parseConf(source):
conf = {}
patID=re.compile(r"(?:\s*define)?\s*(\w+)\s+{")
patAttr=re.compile(r"\s*(\w+)(?:=|\s+)(.*)")
patEndID=re.compile(r"\s*}")
for line in source.splitlines():
line=line.strip()
matchID = patID.match(line)
matchAttr = patAttr.match(line)
matchEndID = patEndID.match( line)
if len(line) == 0 or line[0]=='#':
pass
elif matchID:
identifier = matchID.group(1)
cur = [identifier, {}]
elif matchAttr:
attribute = matchAttr.group(1)
value = matchAttr.group(2).strip()
cur[1][attribute] = value
elif matchEndID and cur:
conf.setdefault(cur[0],[]).append(cur[1])
del cur
return conf
To get all Names your Host which have contactgroups beginning with 'devops':
nagcfg=parseConf(stringcontaingcompleteconfig)
hostlist=[host['host_name'] for host in nagcfg['host']
if host['contact_groups'].startswith('devops')]

Don't know nagios and its config file, but the structure seems pretty simple:
# comment
identifier {
attribute=
attribute=value
}
which can simply be translated to
<identifier>
<attribute name="attribute-name">attribute-value</attribute>
</identifier>
all contained inside a root-level <nagios> tag.
I don't see line breaks in the values. Does nagios have multi-line values?
You need to take care of equal signs within attribute values, so set your regex to non-greedy.
回答5:
You can do something like this:
def parseConf(filename):
conf = []
with open(filename, 'r') as f:
for i in f.readlines():
if i[0] == '#': continue
matchID = re.search(r"([\w]+) {", i)
matchAttr = re.search(r"[ ]*([\w]+)=([\w\d]*)", i)
matchEndID = re.search(r"[ ]*}", i)
if matchID:
identifier = matchID.group(1)
cur = [identifier, {}]
elif matchAttr:
attribute = matchAttr.group(1)
value = matchAttr.group(2)
cur[1][attribute] = value
elif matchEndID:
conf.append(cur)
return conf
def conf2xml(filename):
conf = parseConf(filename)
xml = ''
for ID in conf:
xml += '<%s>\n' % ID[0]
for attr in ID[1]:
xml += '\t<attribute name="%s">%s</attribute>\n' % \
(attr, ID[1][attr])
xml += '</%s>\n' % ID[0]
return xml
Then try to do:
print conf2xml('conf.dat')

If you slightly tweak Andrea's solution you can use that code to parse both the status.dat as well as the objects.cache
def parseConf(source):
conf = []
for line in source.splitlines():
line=line.strip()
matchID = re.match(r"(?:\s*define)?\s*(\w+)\s+{", line)
matchAttr = re.match(r"\s*(\w+)(?:=|\s+)(.*)", line)
matchEndID = re.match(r"\s*}", line)
if len(line) == 0 or line[0]=='#':
pass
elif matchID:
identifier = matchID.group(1)
cur = [identifier, {}]
elif matchAttr:
attribute = matchAttr.group(1)
value = matchAttr.group(2).strip()
cur[1][attribute] = value
elif matchEndID and cur:
conf.append(cur)
del cur
return conf
It is a little puzzling why nagios chose to use two different formats for these files, but once you've parsed them both into some usable python objects you can do quite a bit of magic through the external command file.
If anybody has a solution for getting this into a a real xml dom that'd be awesome.

For the last several months I've written and released a tool that that parses the Nagios status.dat and objects.cache and builds a model that allows for some really useful manipulation of Nagios data. We use it to drive an internal operations dashboard that is a simplified 'mini' Nagios. Its under continual development and I've neglected testing and documentation but the code isn't too crazy and I feel fairly easy to follow.
