Inbound Check Transfer Settings

These settings affect Nagios XI's ability to accept and process passive host and service check results from external applications, services, and remote Nagios servers. Enabling inbound checks is important in distributed monitoring environments, and in environments where external applications and services send data to Nagios.

NRDP Settings

Access Info:	The NRDP API can be accessed at http://cammstech.my3cx.ca/nrdp/ Note: Remote clients must be able to contact this server on port 80 TCP (HTTP) or 443 TCP (HTTPS) in order to access the NRDP API and submit check results. You may have to open firewall ports to allow access.
Authentication Tokens:	One or more (alphanumeric) tokens that remote hosts and applications must use when contacting the NRDP API on this server. Specify one token per line. q0P8GZV6cYoK

NSCA Settings

Configuration Required
Before you can enable inbound data transfer via NSCA, you must configure settings to allow external hosts/devices to communicate with NSCA.

To do this, follow these steps:
1. Login to the Nagios XI server as the root user
2. Open the /etc/xinetd.d/nsca file for editing
3. Modify the only_from statement to include the IP addresses of hosts that are allowed to send data (or comment it out to allow all hosts to send data)
4. Save the file

I have completed these steps.

Access Info:	NSCA is configured to run on this machine on port 5667 TCP. Note: Remote clients must be able to contact this server on port 5667 TCP in order to access NSCA and submit check results. You may have to open firewall ports to allow access.
Decryption Method:	The decryption method used on check data that is received via NSCA. Important: Each sender must be using the same encryption method as you specify for the decryption method here.
Password:	The password used to decrypt check data that is received by NSCA. Important: Each sender must be using this same password.
