Nagios NCPA passive proxy

Post by mrjsokol »

Good evening all,

I have a config of passive hosts using the NCPA agents on windows clients and didnt find a way to set the client to use a proxy. Can this be set anywhere client side or would the entire server for XI have to be proxied at the server level? I saw the proxy section under admin but looks like only updates for the xi server instead of the clients.

I don't think NCPA currently supports using a proxy, I'm not sure if it would even pick up envars for them with them set, I've reached out to get clarification from development on this and will let you know what they say.

NCPA doesn't currently support using a proxy. I tried with envars on both windows/linux and it didn't work. I talked with the devs and they said to create an FR:

Please keep in mind that the decision to implement the enhancement is at the discretion of our development team.

In the meantime we will try to come up with a creative solution for this. If I come into any solution, I will share. Thanks for the help and you can lock the thread.
