Hello!

I'm fairly new to nagios, and im hoping that someone of you have had a similiar situation which i am currently facing.
The active servers i got on my local network is being monitored fine, with all the services i have written.

BUT, how do i monitor a server BEHIND a firewall? can i filter on ports on the firewall to accept active checks from nagios, or can i walk around the problem by configuring pasive checks? Meaning klient -> server, instead of server -> klient.
Ive read that this particular option is when i want to use NSCA, which im trying to  get to work, but so far no success. I do want some kind of client-agent that sends out notifications to my nagios server, but at this point, i havn't got anything to work...

Could someone please help me out? Is nsca the best option? Or are there other choices?
