15 Description: flexible transport agent for Nagios/Icinga check results
16 Nag(ix)SC is a replacement for NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor) and NSCA
17 (Nagios Service Check Acceptor) supporting multiple transport mechanisms like
18 HTTP(S), SSH, rsync, or whatever you like. It may be used to execute Nagios/
19 Icinga plugins on a remote host or to send service check results to a central
20 monitoring server.
21 .
22 Nag(ix)SC includes simple HTTP server implementations to send and receive
23 check results and execute plugins. HTTP is the preferred way to transfer the
24 generated data because of the following benefits:
25 * simple protocol with many existing support tools (e.g. curl) and libraries
26 for basically any programming and scripting language
27 * support for relaying/forwarding through (reverse-)proxies
28 * support for authorization and authentication
29 * support for encryption (HTTPS)
30 * filtering possibilities
31 .
32 Nagios/Icinga are monitoring and management systems for hosts, services and
33 networks.
