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)
