Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade nscp -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'0.6.11-beta'" --prerelease [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade nscp -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'0.6.11-beta'" --prerelease
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

Description

NSClient++ (nscp) aims to be a simple yet powerful and flexible monitoring daemon. It was built for Nagios/Icinga/Naemon, but nothing in the daemon is Nagios/Icinga specific and it can and is used in many other scenarios where you want to receive/distribute check metrics

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

Pre-release Pre-release 0.6.11 (2025-02-17)

What's Changed

This is a "pre release" meaning I want some feedback on some of the changes.

So as long as you read and understand the change-log there should not be any functional issues installing this in a production setting if you want.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed integer overflow in check_files.vbs script

  • Fixed status in summary text not matching actual summary when no results were found in filters (see UNKNOWN: OK in this example)


check_drivesize "filter=drive='foobar'"

L        cli UNKNOWN: OK: No drives found

L        cli  Performance data:

  • Added new option fetch core loads to allow using another API to fetch CPU load. This might fix the "incorrect CPU load on machines with many cores)

[/settings/system/windows]

fetch core loads = false

This will be further improved in coming version but please do let me know if this improves the situation.

Documentation

Merged a series of PR:s fixing grammar and spelling mistakes in the code and documentation.

  • Fixed numerous spelling and grammar issue in the documentation.

  • Fixed exit code description in docs

  • Added docs about loading modules to docs

Maintenance

Started to automatically re-format the code some sections require gated excludes so this will take a while so will do it part by part.

  • Reformatted part of the code base
