Nagios Support Forum

I'm looking for a good Linux NSCA client, to send passive monitoring checks to my new NAGIOS server. I've used NSClient++ for Windows, and it works great. Can anyone offer Linux suggestions?

I also know there's a send_nsca, can this be somehow set up to send hourly checks of the CPU/RAM/DiskSpace/Services status?

Got several machines, RHEL 5/6 and CentOS 5/6. They're at distributed remote sites, NRPE wont work.

Thanks in advance!

You can just use the NSCA client itself:

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm a bit confused. The document you linked clearly shows there being a NSCA server and a NSCA client to be installed on the remote machines.

I already have the NSCA server up and working, but I can't locate the NSCA client. Is it part of the same package? There's only a single NSCA listed on the addon page ( http://www.nagios.org/download/addons ), and the instructions only appear to document how to install the NSCA server. There's no mention of a client for the remote server. Am I overlooking something obvious?

Yes, you must simply run through this document to install the client, they are almost identical, the server just receives and parses the packets sent by the NSCA client:
