Introduction
JS7 - Notifications - Configuration is performed from the Configuration->Notification sub-view of the JOC Cockpit and includes setting up the configuration for the JS7 - Monitor Service.
- The NSCAFragment is used for direct connections to System Monitors which that operate a Nagios-compatible NSCA service for passive checks such as Nagios®, Icinga®, Opsview®. Messages to a System Monitor can be parameterized from JS7 - Notification - Configuration, Monitor Variables.
- This fragment type makes use of uses the JSend NSCA Java API. Note that this fragment type does not support more elaborated encryption as required by a number of System Monitors.

In case If you are using Opsview® as a monitoring tool: consider that the plugin will not work, since Opsview® supports ca. 20 encryption types that are not supported by this plugin. You can only use the plugin when no encryption (type: NONE) is used. Instead, you can use the JS7 - Notification Notifications - Configuration Element CommandFragment and indicate the exact command to send passive checks to your System Monitor from a remote machine using the System Monitor's Agent. |
Examples
Nagios® / op5®
The following is an excerpt from an XML configuration for notification with Nagios® and op5® via the NSCAFragment:
