You can find here all sources and scripts to build your own version of the centreon-nsclient agent. That's very useful when you want to create your own centreon_plugins.exe or customize nsclient.ini content (e.g allowed hosts values, specific command handler, etc.).
Pull request are disabled as Centreon teams manage the upgrade to the newer version of centreon-plugins and NSClient++. If you want to provide some feedback, ask for a new plugin to be included in the build routine, just open an issue to discuss about it.
This repository is being built using a Travis-ci free plan. You can get latest build artefacts here: https://github.com/centreon/centreon-nsclient-build/releases.
To use this repo, you must have:
- a Windows Server 2K8 or above, with a x64 architecture
- a 64bits version of Strawberry perl (http://strawberryperl.com/). The build env is tested with the version below:
Then you'll have to add C:\Strawberry to your PATH to be able to run the following commands.
perl -v

- Some additionnal perl libs must be installed

There are a lot of files in this repository, but you just have to know a few to build your own centreon-nsclient flavour.
This file allows you to generate a centreon_plugins.exe executable binary to be executed on a 64 bits Windows OS. You can bring your own modifications to the following lines if needed:
SET VERSION_PLUGIN=20000101# set the version of centreon-plugins, we recommend to follow official centreon_plugins releases (https://github.com/centreon/centreon-plugins/releases)set PERL_INSTALL_DIR=C:\Strawberry# set the path to your Strawberry perl installation dir
If you want to add more plugins, its associated modes and dependencies, you can modify the CMD /C %PERL_INSTALL_DIR%\perl\site\bin\pp --lib=centreon-plugins\ ^ command line parameters. Only modify by adding of removing lines starting by -M. An extract below shows how we add our WSUS plugin to the centreon_plugins.exe binary:
-M apps::wsus::local::plugin ^
-M apps::wsus::local::mode::computersstatus ^
-M apps::wsus::local::mode::updatesstatus ^
-M apps::wsus::local::mode::synchronisationstatus ^
-M apps::wsus::local::mode::serverstatistics ^
Then, to rebuild the installer with the previously built resources, just run:
build_centreon_plugins_64.bat
Run this script to build the last tested version of ConSol Labs' check_logfiles.
build_check_logfiles_64.bat
NullSoft Install Script system file. It will allow you to define some properties of your installer.
The three lines you may want to modify are:
!define PRODUCT_VERSION "0.5.2.41" # Set the NSClient++ version, in this repository we are using 0.5.2.41, do not modify unless you know what you're doing
!define PACKAGE_VERSION "20000101" # Set the release version, once again it's easier to stick to the official centreon-plugins release
!define MSI_NSCLIENT "NSCP-0.5.2.41-Win32.msi" # If you modified the PRODUCT version, you may want to also tune this line to reflect the associated MSI
This is your NSClient++ main config file, just modify it. A full documentation on available directives is avalaible from NSClient++ official website (https://docs.nsclient.org/tutorial/#default-settings).
Here are the step to take to build a NSClient agent:
git clone https://github.com/centreon/centreon-nsclient-build
- (optionnal) Update its submodule (centreon-plugins)
cd centreon-nsclient-build
git submodule update --init
C:\Your\path\to\localrepo\centreon-nsclient> build_centreon_plugins_64.bat

Output of this build routine is two binaries: Centreon-NSClient-0.5.2.41-20000101-Win32.exe Centreon-NSClient-0.5.2.41-20000101-x64.exe
You can install the agent with a double-click on: Centreon-NSClient-0.5.2.41-20000101-Win32.exe or Centreon-NSClient-0.5.2.41-20000101-x64.exe.
Note that you can use the following flags parameters of the .exe execution:
- /S : Silently installation
- /nouninstall : no uninstall of the current package if it was already installed
Now, it's deployment time :) Enjoy !
To know which plugins are available in centreon-plugins.exe, use the following command:
`/path/to/centreon_plugins.exe --list-plugin
