[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#851991: icinga2: Please support nrpe-ng in icinga2 commands

[John Lines]

Package: icinga2
Version: 2.6.0-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

The nrpe-ng package is useful for system managers migrating from jessie
to stretch, as it is available in jessie-backports, as well as stretch.

Please provide a CheckCommand definition, similar to that for nrpe, for
nrpe-ng

I attach one I have hacked together. Note that the specification of the
target by name is important, as otherwise certificate checks are likely
to fail, and the explicit specification of the command file also appears
to be required.
