This allows for submitting passive check +results, downtimes, and many other commands to Nagios or compatible +monitoring solutions. The submitted data is queued by the NSCA-ng +server if Nagios goes down. Multiple check results or commands can be +submitted in one go, and multiline plugin output is fully supported. +NSCA-ng uses TLS encryption and shared-secret authentication with +per-client passwords, as well as fine-grained authorization control. + +This package contains the NSCA-ng server, which is written in C and +uses an event-driven architecture. Disk I/O is avoided unless the data +cannot be submitted in one go due to its size (on Linux, the threshold +is 4kB). In this case, the data is handed over to Nagios via +asynchronously written files. + +NSCA clients cannot talk to NSCA-ng servers (nor vice versa), but NSCA +and NSCA-ng servers can happily run side by side. + +WWW: http://www.nsca-ng.org/ |
