Nagios monitoring host. It allows a monitored client host to
connect to it and issue a Nagios external command. If
authenticated and authorized, the client host can execute the
Nagios external command by having the server write the command
to the Nagios external command pipe. This is the Nagios Remote
External Commands Daemon, or NRECD for short. What it does is
run a small TCP server on a Nagios monitoring server waiting for
connections from remote monitored hosts. When an inbound
connection is received, the nrecd daemon authenticates the
remote host. If the remote host is authenticated, it is allowed
to issue a Nagios external command. The external command will
then be authenticated, and if it is, it will be passed to the
Nagios external command pipe. There is a small program that runs
on each remote host called "send_nrec" that connects to the main
Nagios monitoring server and issues commands. Reviews (0)Be the
