send-nsca3 0.1.6.0

python3 compatible pure-python nsca sender

Overview

NSCA is the remote passive acceptance daemon used with many Nagios installs. It ships with a (C-language) executable called send_nsca for submitting checks. This is a mostly-clean re-implementation of send_nsca in pure-python. It supports 10 of the 26 crypto functions used by upstream NSCA, sending to multiple hosts with one invocation, and timeouts.

Why send_nsca3?

Python3 compatible version of send_nsca, packaged for pypi installation. Just a personal convenience thing, as as none of libraries for sending nsca checks support python3, and the projects don't seem active.
