About NSClient++

NSClient++ (or nscp as I tend to call it nowadays) aims to be a simple yet powerful and secure monitoring daemon for Windows operating systems. It is built for Nagios, but nothing in the daemon is actually Nagios specific and could probably, with little or no change, be integrated into any monitoring software that supports running user tools for polling.

The structure of the daemon is a simple service that loads plug-ins to an internal stack. The plug-ins can then request data (poll performance data) from the other plug-ins through the internal stack. For details of built-in modules, see check commands. The real power though comes from the ability to run external scripts so to get the most from NSClient++ be sure to check out the external scripts? page.

NSClient++ can be extended in several ways:

  • The CheckExternalScripts module can execute various user written script (as of now vb/batch/exe/perl/python/power shell/*).
  • The LUAScript scripting module can execute ​Lua scripts inside NSClient++.
  • The Plugin API? can be used to write custom plugins which can do pretty much anything in any language.
