# The net/nagios/nsca-ng port

## nsca-ng-1.6p1 – server to accept passive check results for Nagios/Icinga

## Description

    NSCA-ng provides a client-server pair which makes the Nagios command file
    accessible to remote systems. This allows for submitting passive check
    results, downtimes, and many other commands to Nagios or compatible
    monitoring solutions. The submitted data is queued by the NSCA-ng
    server if Nagios goes down. Multiple check results or commands can be
    submitted in one go, and multiline plugin output is fully supported.
    NSCA-ng uses TLS encryption and shared-secret authentication with
    per-client passwords, as well as fine-grained authorization control.

    This package contains the NSCA-ng server, which is written in C and
    uses an event-driven architecture. Disk I/O is avoided unless the data
    cannot be submitted in one go due to its size (on Linux, the threshold
    is 4 kB). In this case, the data is handed over to Nagios via
    asynchronously written files.

    NSCA clients cannot talk to NSCA-ng servers (nor vice versa), but NSCA
    and NSCA-ng servers can happily run side by side.
