NSCAweb is a Nagios core (tm) based monitoring solution addon which allows you to easily submit (passive) host and service checks over http(s) to the Nagios external command file.
It aims to be a better,more feature rich alternative than the classic NSCA daemon.

NSCAweb has following features:

 - http(s) as transport makes it more friendly in a firewalled environment.
 - SSL encryption when desired.
 - Supports multiline plugin & performance output.
 - Accepts data coming over http or from local named pipes.
 - Submit data to many types of destinations: named pipes (nagios.cmd), NSCAweb, NRDP or a file.
 - Loadbalance and failover between multiple urls per destination.
 - Duplicate and forward passive check results to an "unlimited" amount of destinations.
 - Submit messages to 1 destination or all destinations depending on the url messages are send to.
 - Simultaneous local and remote delivery.
 - Each destination has an independent, dedicated thread and queue.
 - Buffering of unavailable destinations and resubmitting when destination comes available to prevent data loss.
 - Builtin, multiuser authentication.
 - Trivial to submit check results using http post.
 - Submit check results in bulk or one by one.
 - Use curl as a client from the command line.
 - Can be compiled easily to a binary using cxfreeze.
 - It's fast.
