winget install --id Mickem.NSClientAbout NSClient++
NSClient++ (nscp) aims to be a simple yet powerful and secure monitoring daemon. It was built for Nagios/Icinga, but nothing in the daemon is Nagios/Icinga specific and it can be used in many other scenarios where you want to receive/distribute check metrics. The daemon has 3 main functions: - Allow a remote machine (monitoring server) to request commands to be run on this machine (the monitored machine) which return the status of the machine. - Submit the same results to a remote (monitoring server). - Take action...
What's new in 0.14.1.0
Host security posture, JSON-aware HTTP checks, and a clearer licence This release adds a brand-new CheckSecurity module for monitoring a host's security posture — certificates, firewall, antivirus, BitLocker, Secure Boot, NLA and logged-on users — and teaches check_http to assert on values inside a JSON response body. It also fixes boolean check arguments over REST, tidies up process aggregation and module activation, relicenses the project under a clear dual licence, and reworks the documentation to handle Windows and Linux side by side. Highlights - New CheckSecurity module. Seven new checks for host security posture: check_certificate, check_firewall, check_antivirus, check_bitlocker, check_secureboot, check_nla and check_users. check_certificate and check_users run everywhere; the rest are Windows-only. (#1339) - check_http can assert on JSON responses. New json-path=alias:path options extract values from a JSON body into filter keywords you can threshold on and emit as perfdata. (#1341) - CheckNet queries now emit performance data by default, so check_http, check_tcp and friends graph out of the box without an explicit perf syntax. (#1341) - Boolean check arguments accept values, not just flags. check_ping host=www.google.com total=true now works alongside the bare-flag form — the form REST already used. (#1338) - Activate several modules in one command: nscp settings --active-module CheckSystem CheckNet. (#1329-follow-up) - Clear dual licence. NSClient++ is now Apache-2.0 OR GPL-2.0-only, with machine-readable REUSE metadata and third-party notices. (#1343) - Reworked...
