NSCA-ng 1.1 is now available from:
https://www.nsca-ng.org/
This is a minor release that adds some improvements and fixes, including
the following:
- Add chroot(2) support to the server.
- Let the server accept `hosts` patterns in `authorize` sections.
They're syntactic sugar for allowing host checks to be submitted
(analogous to the `services` patterns for service check submissions).
- Let the client ignore empty input lines. This fixes some corner cases
where NSCA-ng's client didn't accept the same input as the client
provided with the original NSCA package.
- Add the `-e` client option, which allows for specifying a delimiter to
use instead of the ASCII ETB character for separating check results.
- Let the `invoke_check` script (provided in the `contrib` directory of
the source tarball) survive plugin return codes other than zero. This
should make the script slightly more useful :-)
Thanks go to Stuart Henderson for adding the chroot(2) support, to Mirko
Tasler for spotting the bug in the `invoke_check' script, and to
everyone else who provided feedback.
