title: Is there a way to extract data from Nagios as if it was a web service?
body: <p>My situation: I'm working on a web monitoring dashboard that assembles informations from different applications and sources and generate graphs, info graphics and reports.</p>
  
  <p>The applications I'm trying to integrate are CACTI, <strong>Nagios</strong>, and other local private monitoring tools. I had no problem to integrate these applications, except for Nagios (I don't have much experience with it).</p>
  
  <p>What I want to know is if there is a way to <strong>use Nagios as a Web Service</strong>, or something similar, so I can expose some of the informations and use it to generate my own reports on my dashboard application.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to do that without any epic effort?</p>
  
  <p>thanks for reading.</p>
