If you are talking about NSClient (which we did not write), then we do not suggest .5. We suggest version .4.4. There are a lot of syntax changes between .3 and .4. Are you having any issues with .3? If not, I would not suggest updating.

We don't really have upgrade instructions. You can remove the old NSClient and install the new following the instructions at https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

Is there any document for upgrading and taking backup of existing nsclient (include nsclient config file)

NSClient documentation is located at https://docs.nsclient.org/ . We did not write it. We do have some limited documentation, which I have already given.

from 3 to 4 (and 5), the file name changed from NSC.ini to nsclient.ini, so be sure to take that into consideration.

Since you are modifying everything anyway, you might want to take a serious look at NCPA, which we did write: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/ncp ... g_NCPA.pdf
