Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Sebastian Harl <tokkee@debian.org> * Package name : nagixsc Version : Git snapshot Upstream Author : Sven Velt <sv@teamix.net> * URL : http://oss.teamix.org/projects/nagixsc * License : GPLv2+ Programming Lang: Python Description : flexible transport agent for Nagios/Icinga check results Nag(ix)SC is a replacement for NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor) and NSCA (Nagios Service Check Acceptor) supporting multiple transport mechanisms like HTTP(S), SSH, rsync, or whatever you like. It may be used to execute Nagios/ Icinga plugins on a remote host or to send service check results to a central monitoring server. . Nag(ix)SC includes simple HTTP server implementations to send and receive check results and execute plugins. HTTP is the preferred way to transfer the generated data because of the following benefits: * simple protocol with many existing support tools (e.g. curl) and * libraries for basically any programming and scripting language * support for relaying/forwarding through (reverse-)proxies * support for authorization and authentication * support for encryption (HTTPS) * filtering possibilities . Nagios/Icinga are monitoring and management systems for hosts, services and networks. This software will be packaged in the pkg-nagios team. -- Sebastian "tokkee" Harl +++ GnuPG-ID: 0x8501C7FC +++ http://tokkee.org/ Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -- Benjamin Franklin
