Today, I released NSCA-ng 1.1. Debian packages and the source tarball can be downloaded from:
https://www.nsca-ng.org/ NSCA-ng is a drop-in replacement for NSCA that allows for submitting passive check results, downtimes, and many other commands to Nagios. It uses TLS encryption and shared-secret authentication with per-client passwords, as well as fine-grained authorization control. Version 1.1 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. Have a nice weekend!
