Nagios Support Forum

Hi
We've been using Nagios XI for years and all of our agents (Windows and Linux) are running the old NSClient++ that is now deprecated. How do we quickly and easily migrate to the new client?
When I tried to use the wizard for a new Windows Server I got a new prompt for "Authentication token used to connect to NCPA." and I have no idea how to generate this token.
Thank you.

Hi gornm565,
As you can see from the picture below, you must install the NCPA agent first on your windows server (VM) before using this NCPA wizard. During the NCPA Agent installation process ... that's where you define the "token" and that token is going to be stored inside the "ncpa.cfg" file below:
(Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Nagios\NCPA\etc\ncpa.cfg
(Linux) /usr/local/ncpa/etc/ncpa.cfg

Here are the installation guide and a short YouTube video of how to install NCPA Agent:

Hope this helps!!
