That's normal, and part of our software. It's just the User Agent we define for some internal function calls. You can see references to it in the Nagios XI code:
Code: Select all
[root@localhost nagiosxi]# grep -R "BinGet" /usr/local/nagiosxi/
/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/nagioslogserver/plugins/check_nagioslogserver.php: 'User-Agent' => 'BinGet/1.00.A (http://www.bin-co.com/php/scripts/load/)'
/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/nagiosxiserver/plugins/check_nagiosxiserver.php: 'User-Agent' => 'BinGet/1.00.A (http://www.bin-co.com/php/scripts/load/)'
/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/utilsx.inc.php: 'User-Agent' => 'BinGet/1.00.A (http://www.bin-co.com/php/scripts/load/)'
