editnagios_nsca
editThis is a community-maintained plugin!
The nagios_nsca output is used for sending passive check results to Nagios through the NSCA protocol.
This is useful if your Nagios server is not the same as the source host from where you want to send logs or alerts. If you only have one server, this output is probably overkill # for you, take a look at the nagios output instead.
Here is a sample config using the nagios_nsca output:
output { nagios_nsca { # specify the hostname or ip of your nagios server host => "nagios.example.com"
# specify the port to connect to port => 5667 } }
