The possibility of sending a notification to NAGIOS as well as sending it by email or slack, when a cron execution fails. It's possible?

I'm not familiar with Nagios, but if I understand correctly, it is itself a monitoring system, and so would typically be a source of notifications, not a destination of notifications. i.e., Nagios monitors resources and sends notifications to the user over Email, Slack etc. when it notices problems.

Guessing here, but are you looking for a way to monitor the status of a single check (or the aggregate status of checks in a project?) in Nagios, and see its status in your Nagios dashboard?

This is something that I was interested in too, mainly to provide a single source of information and a Nagios type system is what we use for this. For information, Nagios and its spin-offs (e.g. Naemon) can receive passive checks in a particular format but it requires an add-on (NSCA is common) to do this (unless you are on the same machine). Healthchecks would need to use this format and maybe the send_nsca program (or it's equivalent for other services) to send such updates but it would be fiddly and require individual notifications configured.

However, a more effective, and probably simpler, solution would be to get the Nagios server to query the healthchecks server's API to get the status of a test. I'm currently working on such a script but it shouldn't be too difficult.

Sounds good.

I'm closing this issue as it seems the task is "to teach Nagios to fetch data from Healthchecks" not "to teach Healthchecks to feed data to Nagios".
