Hello,  
I am trying to send passive check to nagios using Logstash nagios\_nsca plugin.

**Elasticstack v 6.3.2**

```
/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin list | grep nsca
logstash-output-nagios_nsca

```

**Configuration:**

```
pipeline:
input {
 http {
    port => 10040
  }
}

filter {
  json {
    source => "message"
  }
}

output {

   if ( [app] == "application" and [env] == "prod" and [message] =~ /^Error/ ) {

       nagios_nsca {
         host => "10.88.88.200"
         port => 5667
         nagios_host => "10.88.88.250"
         nagios_service => "application.error-detection"
         nagios_status => 2
         send_nsca_bin => "/usr/sbin/send_nsca"
         send_nsca_config => "/etc/nagios/send_nsca.cfg"
         message_format => "%{message}"
       }

       elasticsearch {
        hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
        index => "alerts-%{+YYYY.MM}"
        user => "logstash"
        password => "" ******"
      }
   } else {
        elasticsearch {
        hosts => ["localhost:9200"]
        index => "noalerts-%{+YYYY.MM}"
        user => "logstash"
        password => " ******"
      }

   }
}

```

**Sending event to logstash:**

```
curl -XPOST localhost:10040/libovolne-url -d '{ "env" : "prod", "app":"odis", "message":"Error processOdis" }'
ok

```

**Log of logstash**  
`[2019-05-02T15:44:43,954][WARN][logstash.outputs.nagiosnsca] Skipping nagios_nsca output; error calling send_nsca {:error=>#<TypeError: no implicit conversion of Integer into String>, :nagios_nsca_command=>"/usr/sbin/send_nsca -H 10.88.88.250 -p 5667 -d : -c /etc/nagios/send_nsca.cfg", :message=>"cdv.tomcat-cdc-as1:TOMCAT.odis.error-detection:2:Error processOdis", :missed_event=>#<LogStash::Event:0x25cbded2>}`

I check network traffic using tcpdump but nothing happend. Problem is with parameter **nagios\_status**. I tried "2", '2', "CRITICAL" but nothing worked.

Could you please help me?  
Regards!  
Vasek

I used Elastalert instead of Logstash nagios\_nsca plugin.
