NSClient++ (nscp) aims to be a simple yet powerful and secure monitoring daemon. It was built for Nagios/Icinga, but nothing in the daemon is Nagios/Icinga specific and it can be used in many other scenarios where you want to receive/distribute check metrics.
The daemon has 3 main functions:
- Allow a remote machine (monitoring server) to request commands to be run on this machine (the monitored machine) which return the status of the machine.
- Submit the same results to a remote (monitoring server).
- Take action and perform tasks.
