Status: In progress...

New windows subsystem

The windows subsystem now is optimized for Windows NT and really needs an overhaul.

• Support for remote checking of windows machines (ie. allow NSCLient++ act as a broker and check remote machines in an agent-less fashion)
• Support for Modern Windows (vista and beyond)
• Drop support for "Legacy Windows" (will still be available as-is in but not updated/get extended support)
• Support real-time monitoring in more instances

Status: Not started...

monitoring Kits

The script support will be extended to include "monitoring kits" which is a concept of installable easy to configure monitoring patterns. The idea is that this should be enough to setup a new SQL server which has two databases foo and bar.

nscp py --script sql-server --install --db foo --db bar --report nsca
