Automatic install of nrpe agent

[WillemDH]

Hello,

Did someone ever manage to install the Linux NRPE agent fully automated? I tried to create a Bash script which use the fullinstall with the n option, but it still stops when asking for the allowed from ip addresses.

This is the script I'm using now:

Code: Select all

    WriteLog Verbose Info "- NRPE - cd /tmp"
    cd /tmp
    wget https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/agents/linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz
    tar xzf linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz
    cd linux-nrpe-agent
    ./fullinstall -n

It hangs on:

Code: Select all

Allow from:

Any feedback to make this fully automated is welcome.

Imho there should be a switch which allows to starts the script with the allowed from ip addresses. For example

./fullinstall -n -allowed "1.1.1.1 3.3.3.3 5.5.5.5"

Willem, I believe you can just change this line:

Code: Select all

read -p "Allow from:  " ALLOW_INPUT

to this:

Code: Select all

ALLOW_INPUT='1.1.1.1 3.3.3.3 5.5.5.5'

in the "/tmp/linux-nrpe-agent/subcomponents/install" script, and run:

Code: Select all

cd /tmp/linux-nrpe-agent
./fullinstall -n

Thanks a lot for the tip Ludmill. If someone else is interested, this is the sed command I'm using to replace the allow from:

Code: Select all

sed -i 's/read -p "Allow from:  " ALLOW_INPUT/ALLOW_INPUT="1.1.1.1 3.3.3.3 5.5.5.5"/g' /tmp/linux-nrpe-agent/subcomponents/install
