NSCA Module

First version of the NSCA module is out. Module can be used to supply passive check results to nagios (instead of active checking). This is a simple mock-up which lacks many features (encryption to name one) but it would be interesting to know what people thinks of the "concept" and also if it "works" in real-world environments.

To try the new module:

  • enable the NSCAAgent.dll
  • edit [NSCA Agent] section
  • add your favorit checks to [NSCA Commands]

Changlog for the new nightly: 

2007-12-09 MickeM
 + Added a check if the service is started when running with /test so you get a warning
 + Improved the socket thread with:
    * a default-catch
    * If the socket failes to start we still wait for it to shut down (no error message)
 + Added first version of the NSCA agent (NSCAgent.dll)
   (no encryption support as of yet, but will come)

0.3.0 Released!

Finally, after much strife and hardship, the new version seems to be stable (or possibly all my wondrous beta testers (yes... I mean you, there can be only one) have just been lazy and not reported all the bugs they found in the RC :)

Anyways, for those will on 0.2.7 there is a lot of new features and I think a lot of stability improvements. For those on the bleeding edge there is nothing new (a few bugs fixed since RC1 is all).

The main new features in the 0.3.x line is:

  • Improved WMI module
  • Unicode support (that means people in <insert country far away here> can use performance counters.
  • *FIXES* in the socket handling (hopefully it actually works now)
  • Some new performance counters as well as slightly better handling

Hopefully things are working, if not let me know, I shall wait till tomorrow before posting to sourceforge so feel free to let me know any bugs before then so I can quick-fix them :)
