(only REQ_COUNTER, REQ_FILEAGE and REQ_INSTANCES are missing).<o:p></o:p> It can be found at <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/nscplus/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/nscplus/</a> <o:p></o:p> Simple installation instructions:<o:p></o:p> Unzip to a directory of you choice, run “NSClient++ /install” to install the service definition and then “NSCLient++ /start” to start the service. If you rather not run it as a service run “NSClient++ /test” to start the program interactively. A few important things: be sure to comment out either ConsoleLogger.dll or FileLogger.dll depending on if you run it interactively or as a service. Also note that this by default binds to port 1234 (as to not collide with NSClient). Check out readme.txt for details on how to install / configure and use the application.<o:p></o:p> As for resources/leaks I ran this for about 24 hours on a few of our servers during yesterday polling about 5 times each second without much impact (used 2.2Mb memory and pretty much no CPU, according to ProcExp www.sysinternals.com)<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> **IMPORTANT**<o:p></o:p> Don’t go changing all you NSClient’s as of yet, this is a work in progress, settings/options/things might change and you will have to do it all over again, but please feel free to test this on all your installations :)<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> A few things I am interested in (read feedback):<o:p></o:p> 1, Does it work on <insert strange hardware/software/setup here>?<o:p></o:p> 2, Does it work as expected?<o:p></o:p> 3, Settings is not 100% compatible with NSClient, should I add an option “settings=read from nsclient” or similar to make it a *drop in* replacement?<o:p></o:p> To me this feels a bit excessive as you need to “install” the exe file anyway so you might as well fix your own custom config and install that as well.<o:p></o:p> 4, Installation procedure? (I don’t really know at all how people generally installs these kinds of things so feedback here would be interesting)<o:p></o:p> 5, How does: Counters work, can someone send me an example of this ?<o:p></o:p> 6, How does REQ_FILEAGE work? (I can find no documentation in check_nt for this command.)<o:p></o:p> 7, How does REQ_INSTANCES work? (I can find no documentation in check_nt for this command.)<o:p></o:p> 8, Should I post to this list ? (should I move this to “my own” list)<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Regards,<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Michael Medin<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Direkt: 08-410 052 42<o:p></o:p> Mobil: 0733-35 55 42<o:p></o:p> E-mail: michael.medin@altcom.se<o:p></o:p> Internet: <a href="BLOCKED::http://www.altcom.se/" title="http://www.altcom.se/">WWW.ALTCOM.SE</a><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> ALTCOM AB SEGELB�TSV�GEN 2, 11264 STOCKHOLM TELEFON: 08-7 300 300 FAX: 08-7 300 305 EMAIL: <a href="BLOCKED::mailto:INFO@ALTCOM.SE" title="mailto:INFO@ALTCOM.SE">INFO@ALTCOM.SE</a> INTERNET: <a href="BLOCKED::http://www.altcom.se/" title="http://www.altcom.se/">WWW.ALTCOM.SE</a><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Altcom AB.
