NSCLIENT

[Martyn]

Thanks very much for the reply.
I will also take a look at your client too, how stable is it at present?

Cheers

You don't have to purchase one. If you want to do the editing manually, use
Microsoft's Orca. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255905

Or if you want to automate it, look into MakeMSI. 
http://dennisbareis.com/makemsi.htm This scripting language is a bit quirky,
but it works.

That said, I'm currently working on a complete Nagios client including
install package that may do just about the same thing (and a few more
things). You can already download it from Sourceforge, although the "burn
the server IP address into the MSI" functionality isn't implemented yet. One
thing I did differently from NSClient is that I am using HTTPS to submit the
results (an older version also supported SSH, but I have not re-implemented
that in the latest version). That lets me avoid firewall issues.

It is based on NSClient++ with quite a few enhancements.
