NCPA Question
Is there a way to disable the Web GUI for the NCPA agent?
Re: NCPA Question
Not, to my knowledge, via the configuration files. However, renaming the templates path is enough to cause the GUI to error out on every request.
In Linux, this path: /usr/local/ncpa/listener/templates
In Windows, this path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Nagios\NCPA\listener\templates
In Linux, this path: /usr/local/ncpa/listener/templates
In Windows, this path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Nagios\NCPA\listener\templates

Re: NCPA Question
So, disabling the listener service would not disable the GUI?
Re: NCPA Question
It would, but it would also disable the "active checks" portion of NCPA. From here:

If your NCPA setup is only doing passive checks, it would be fine to disable the listener in this case.The NCPA Listener service does the following:
- Serves and handles connections to the web GUI
- Handles external API requests (including those for active checks)
- Provides API for live graphing and top processes
- Provides and "offline" internal API for the NCPA Passive service
