nrdp vs nsca

[jssingh]

I would like to move away from nsca to nrdp and I have nrdp working on the nagios server. The problem is that we don't have apache running on our monitored servers and I have not been able to convince the admins to run it (and I understand their concerns). Is there any other option? Am I stuck with nsca? The size limit on nsca is my biggest concern.

thanks!

I'm a bit confused here. Why would you need http running on the monitored servers? NRDP clients really only need PHP to execute the send_nrdp.php script. And they don't even need that as there are bash and python scripts as well:

Or you can use NRDS:

No, I was the one who was confused! Thanks for clearing that up.

I noticed on the page with the Python and Bash scripts it mentioned Perl, but I didn't see a Perl nrdp script anywhere. Does one exist? I got the php one to work, but if there is a Perl one, that would be great for me.

As a fellow perl user, I understand completely:
