NSCA is the mechanism that allows you to send passive check results from the remote ECS0016 to the Nagios daemon running on the monitor- ing server. To enable NSCA:
1.Select System: Nagios and check NSCA Enabled
2.Select the Encryption to be used from the drop down menu, then enter a Secret password and specify a check Interval.
Refer to the sample Nagios configuration section below for some ex- amples of configuring specific NSCA checks
Configure selected Serial Ports for Nagios monitoring
The individual Serial Ports connected to the ECS0016 to be monitored must be configured for Nagios checks.
To enable Nagios to monitor on a device connected to the ECS0016 se- rial port:
1.Select Serial & Network: Serial Port and click Edit on the serial Port number to be monitored.
2.Select Enable Nagios, specify the name of the device on the upstream server and determine the check to be run on this port. Serial Status monitors the handshaking lines on the serial port and Check Port monitors the data logged for the serial port.

The individual Network Hosts connected to the ECS0016 to be monitored must also be configured for Nagios checks:
1.Select Serial & Network: Network Port and click Edit on the Network Host to be monitored.
2.Select Enable Nagios, then specify the name of the device as it will appear on the upstream Nagios server.
