This framework focuses on two aspects: how to transport a notification to the recipient system and which format to use. In the beginning, Naemon or one of the other monitoring cores will execute a command line. The actual script and the individual command line parameters are defined in a command definition. Typical parameters are (I use the notation of Nagios macros) HOSTNAME, SERVICEDESC, SERVICESTATE, SERVICEOUTPUT. These snippets need to be combined into a payload suitable for the receiving system. And then this payload must be transported to it. We call the two components formatter and forwarder. The formatter takes the raw input data and creates a payload and the forwarder transmits the payload to the destination. What the framework does for you behind the scenes: When forwarding to a recipient fails, the event is saved in a local SQLite database for a certain time and re-sent when the script is next called and the recipient is available again. Logging of successful and of course failed deliveries is also done automatically.
There is also a component reporter which will rarely be used. Its purpose is to run additional code after a successful or failed delivery.\
