Problem with Send_NSCA on Windows

[ankit.mehrotra at tcs.com]

Hi,

I know how to echo a message on the console ..... my problem is of 
redirecting the string to Send_Nsca.exe , which needs to be sent to the 
Nagios Server for the passive service check.


Any mechanism for doing it will be helpfull. 
When I tried redirection through a file to the  SendNsca.exe, it gave me 
the message "0 packets Sent  to the Nagios Server". 

@ Anthony 
thanks for the Pointer to NC_Net. Its a good tool and seems to be doing 
more than I need for at the moment. 

Thanks 
Ankit

Actually C# Does have echo,  try
System.Console.WriteLine("ECHO TO STANDARD IO");
you can also write to standard error 
and you can also redirect IO streams, 
 
C# give pleanty of ways for doing this, since it is a full development 
language and the Dot NEt Framework offers pleanty of classes, Go to MSDN 
and read throught the Library. particullary the  IO,Console, and posibly 
the Process class depending on how you want to accomplish things.
 
Using C# NC_Net can feed an IO into  Win32_Send_NSCA.exe
I also wrote my own version of SendNSCA in C# (internally in NC_NEt)
doing that is a bit too complicated to discuss, but to oversimpify things:
To reimplement SendNSCA just convert the Send_nsca.c into C#
FOr commiunicating with Win32SEnd_Nsca read up on running processes 
Asyncronous and Syncronously. (spelling may be off)
 
Have you tried using NC_NEt it provides both Active and Passive checks in 
a single windows plugin client It also has the ability to run other 
Scripts loaded into its script folder.
IT is availible on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nc-net

Hi,

I am trying to monitor windows machines passively.
For the same, I am writing some code in C#.

The problem is, C# does not support anything like echo command(The way we
used to do it on Linux).
I have tried to redirect the output from a file to the send_nsca exe, but
to no avail.

Can you suggest some formats in which the information can be passed to the
send_nsca exe ?

Thanks
Ankit
