class=968092022-08112004>The problem is that I have to use VB with send_nsca and
I can't seem to hold its open state, anotherwords, when I call send_nsca to
connect to nagios, it connects fine, but I can't seem to hold the terminal
window or std_out in order to send further status checks
etc..</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

class=968092022-08112004>if there's another way of embedding send_nsca into VB,
I'd be greatful to hear it. Other than that I'm trying to get VB to connect to
Nagios as a socket connection, the only problem I'm having is authentication,
even without any encryption. How and when to authenticate is the issue.. I've
read through the source code, but it yelds no
clues..</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=918541620-08112004>The
send_nsca logic is not simple, since it includes checksums and encryption in its
data packet. This is desirable because it increases security.... I am
currently deciphering it in order to modify nt_syslog so that it sends
filtered alerts via NSCA instead of syslog (for simplicity) and it's rather
complex. I already gave up on trying to implement it in Perl! I'd
say, read the send_nsca source code. If you can't understand it, probably
the task of writing a client is beyond your current coding
skills.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
