Hi,

the Nagios plugin needs to pubish its monitoring data on the /diagnostic topic. Msg type needs to be a DiagnosticArray with DiagnosticStatus items for each entity you have monitored.

You will find good tutorials on how use the ROS diagnostic stack on http://wiki.ros.org/diagnostics/Tutorials.

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone have used ROS diagnostics before ? I am working on a research work to integrate ROS with one IT monitoring tool (Nagios). Basically this IT monitoring tool will be able to get information about the Robot Sensor Status.

I already have implemented the communication between them (Nagios plugin reading ROS service information) and now I would like to know how to create and configure a ROS diagnostic topic to test it.

Any ideas will be welcome, thanks in advance
