Re: [Nagios-users] NSClient++ and .Net
Actually, .Net 1.1, 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1 (and, coming soon, 4.x) should be installed on pretty much all well-maintained Windows XP and Windows 2003 systems. These versions coexist nicely. Microsoft has been pushing them out as part of their update packages, so the only reason they might not be installed is that either an administrator specifically excluded them from installing due to some incompatibility (which is rare; I haven't heard of any problems), or hasn't been diligent about doing Windows updating in the first place. On all the servers I manage, I use WSUS and have these updates pushed out automatically. Or if you prefer, run Windows Update, and you will get all of these versions of .Net. That said, for Nagios purposes, I am not very fond of using .Net. The reason is that it has a huge footprint - and that means, more memory, slower loading times, and a host of other issues. Of the plugins I use in TNTMonitoring, those that do use .Net are well over 1 MB *each*. Those that don't use it are a few dozen KB each. Obviously, I'm looking to replace those big plugins at some point. It might be less severe for an agent that runs continuously than for a plugin that is started once. Andrew Davis wrote: If I recall, Windows 2000 Server didn't include .Net, but you could install it. Windows 2003 Server included .Net 1.x, but you could additionally add .Net 2.x.

Re: [Nagios-users] NSClient++ and .Net
Hello, I am guessing you are a bit confused. NSClient++ does not use .net (nor require it) perhaps you are thinking of NC_Net? (also NSClient++ version are along the lines of 0.3.6 or some such, I dont want to bloat the version numbers so I tend to increase them sparingly :) // Michael Medin Andrew Davis skrev: If I recall, Windows 2000 Server didn't include .Net, but you could install it.

Re: [Nagios-users] NSClient++ and .Net
You are correct. With BB it was much easier... there was just one client. With Nagios I got lost in the cloud of clients and transports. My apologies... :) A.

Re: [Nagios-users] NSClient++ and .Net
NC_Net is the client that uses Dot Net framework. Yes the Current version of 4.x of NC_NEt should work without issues on Server 2008 The next Build will be using Dot Net 3.5 NC_Net v5.x but I still am in the middle of building the new Setup project for it.
