Deployment Method:
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
Option 1: Cached Package (Unreliable, Requires Internet - Same As Community)-
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
-
Open Source
-
Download the package:
Download - Follow manual internalization instructions
-
-
Package Internalizer (C4B)
-
Run: (additional options)
choco download nscp --internalize --version=0.7.0 --source=https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
-
For package and dependencies run:
choco push --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
- Automate package internalization
-
Run: (additional options)
3. Copy Your Script
choco upgrade nscp -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'0.7.0'" [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="'0.7.0'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

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.

0.7.0 (2025-03-30)
What's Changed
Here I list all changes since 0.6.9 which is the previous release (there have been experiemental builds which includes below feature since then).
Os detection for check_os_version
This use the build number to detect OS versions above Windows 10 so if you want to check version you need to include build number in your check.
Enhancements and experimental support for Pdh based check_cpu
.
This version has some PDH (Performance data Helpers) fixes and improved error handling and introduces an experimental new option to switch check_cpu
to use PDH instead of APIs.
This is experimental and intended to solve the issue with incorrect, negative or zero values on some machines with more than 12 cores.
The main issue is that PDH is messy. It is localized and has historically been prone to strange issues and errors such as counter index getting corrupted and similar issues so lets ee how this works before making it the default.
To switch change the following configuration:
[/settings/system/windows]
use pdh for cpu=true
Check CPU load values now uses more standard keywords:
idle
user
system
Old keywords are still retained for compatibility, so this is a non-breaking change.
Lua
The biggest new change here is the re-added Lua support.
The Lua support has been changed a bit so it might not be 100% compatible with old scripts.
As there is not much documentation for Lua scripting, I plan to add that soon.
And doing that I will highlight the main differences.
> One thing still missing in Lua is protocol buffer support
> This means you can only create "simple function" is returning code, string and performance data. But given the nature of Lua I think this is acceptable for the time being.
But in general "optional parameters" to functions are no longer optional.
So for instance:
local reg = Registry()
reg:simple_function('lua_test', test_func_query)
local settings = Settings()
str = settings:get_string('/settings/lua/scripts', 'testar')
local core = Core()
code, msg, perf = core:simple_query('lua_test')
Will now require to be written as:
local reg = Registry()
reg:simple_function('lua_test', test_func_query, '')
local settings = Settings()
str = settings:get_string('/settings/lua/scripts', 'testar', '')
local core = Core()
code, msg, perf = core:simple_query('lua_test', {})
The other change is that construction object is now generally done with new
where before it was done with various functions like Core()
here however I have retained backwards compatibility so both should be possible.
But in general the quality of error handling and such is much better and I will as I said expand the documentation and add some more examples and such.
check_mk
As a side note experimental check_mk
support was also added back.
This is experimental in so far as I have only verified it with NSClient++ not actual check_mk
so will need to look into that next.
Also note that check_mk
is experimental currently it only provides the version and agent name.
If there is genuin interest this could easily be extended so please do let me know...
The way check_mk
works is that the module only provides the communication layer and the data provided is provided by a Lua script (hence requiring Lua support).
So the current script looks like so:
function server_process(packet)
s = section.new()
s:set_title("check_mk")
s:add_line("Version: 0.0.1")
s:add_line("Agent: nsclient++")
s:add_line("AgentOS: Windows")
packet:add_section(s)
end
reg = mk.new()
reg:server_callback(server_process)
So here we need to extend the packet to include more data and other sections for proper check_mk
support.
Installer:
Removed padded version numbers from installer (this caused issues with upgrade)
Installer is now built with openssl presumably fixing remote config via https (have not verified this yet)
Enabled WebUI by default in installer (open can still be used to disable)
Added option to disable installing the service in installer
Security:
Added option to configure ciphers in the web server (default is TLS 1.2 but now you can set 1.3 if you prefer)
Default TLS (NRPE et al.) is now 1.2+ instead of only 1.2
Improved some options and added docs for using NRPE with certificates and Nagios…
Installer now installs the NRPE 2048 bit DH key
Other changes
Fixed
check_nscp_verison
parsing new semantic versionAdded error messages for login failure via web browser
Updated build instructions
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:
Fixed numerous spelling and grammar issue in the documentation.
Removed breakpad (replaced by restart watchdog and log files, but wont create and submit crash dumps (instead windows creates dumps which can be used))
