Nagios Support Forum

I didn't see any other issues so far. We are now ready to move forward with the purchase of Nagios XI. Thank you!

I tried the linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz installation with and without deleting the existing installs. They both work.

Thank you so much for your help!

Can I just install linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz without deleting the existing installs?

Then I prefer to delete the existing installs and install linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz from scratch. It seems a lot easier. How can I delete the existing installs? Would you send me the instructions on that?

Thank you!

The folder was created. But it didn't resolve the issue.

Do I need to create or copy common.cfg as well?

After I restarted the xinetd service on the remote client, I got the following from the monitoring website: / Disk Usage Unknown 13m 4s 5/5 2016-01-14 09:01:11 CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon.
