NsclientManager (OpenNMS 16.0.2 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.opennms.protocols.nsclient.NsclientManager

```
public class NsclientManager
extends Object
```
This class is designed to be used by plugins, services and programs to perform checks against an NSClient service.
To use it you must first create an instance of the manager with the host, port and/or password. Then you can set the timeout for the socket, if you want to override DEFAULT_SOCKET_TIMEOUT. Once you have set up the manager, you call the init() method to connect to the service. Once connected you use the processCheckCommand() method to receive a NsclientPacket object containing the response and the result code. Here's an example of using this manager: NsclientCheckParams params = new NsclientCheckParams(critPerc, warnPerc, parameter); NsclientManager client = new NsclientManager(host.getHostAddress(), port); client.init(); NsclientPacket pack=client.processCheckCommand(NsclientManager.convertStringToType(command), params);

```
    This method determines which check method to call to create a request, send to the server and process the results. It merely determines the method to be called based on the type param.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - the short ID of the type of check to be processed.
    
    param - the object containing the parameters for performing checks on the respones from the remote service.
    
    Returns:
    
    the NsclientPacket as processed by the check command method that is called.
