Automated installation of NRPE

In order to truly automate the installation of NRPE agents, one should not be expected to manual run a compile from a tarball on every endpoint.
Furthermore the expectation that if paying users of Nagios XI must depend on the communities behind Ubuntu or CentOS to get current binary packages is an insult to every customer.
What plans does Nagios XI have to support dev/ops deployment such as Puppet or Ansible?

Puppet can already be used with Nagios:

You do not need to compile anything for NRPE. Installation instructions are as follows:
Code: Select all
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
You asked about repos in the other thread, which is why you were given a Debian repo.

I've created my own playbook while migrating to XI...its pretty basic, but it does the job. It assumes all files and configs are sitting in your files directory and you've created two handlers (in my case disabling the Core client and enabling the XI client). Remove the mount point additions and move the notify to another task:
Code: Select all
---
- name: Copy the agent
copy: src=files/linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz dest=/tmp
tags:
- install
- name: Extract the installer
unarchive: src=/tmp/linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz dest=/tmp
tags:
- install
- name: Install NRPE Agent
shell: "cd /tmp/linux-nrpe-agent;./fullinstall -n"
tags:
- install
ignore_errors: yes
- name: Copy the NRPE config
copy: src=files/nrpe dest=/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
tags:
- config
- name: Copy the mount point check scripts
copy: src=files/{{ item }} dest=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/ mode=0755 owner=ro ot group=root
with_items:
- check_mountpoints
- check_ro_mounts
tags:
- mount
- name: Add mount point check to common.cfg
lineinfile: path=/usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe/common.cfg line="command[check_mo untpoints]=sudo /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mountpoints -A" state=present
tags:
- mount
- name: Copy the read only mount point check script
lineinfile: path=/usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe/common.cfg line="command[check_ro _mounts]=/usr/local/nagios/plugins/check_ro_mounts -x /mnt/cdrom" state=present
tags:
- mount
notify:
- Stop NRPE
- Start Xinetd
- name: Allow NagiosXI to check services via NRPE
lineinfile: path=/etc/sudoers line="nagios ALL=NOPASSWD{{':'}} /usr/local/nag ios/libexec/check_init_service, /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mountpoints" sta te=present
tags:
- sudo
- name: Cleanup of leftovers
file: dest=/tmp/linux-nrpe-agent state=absent
tags:
- cleanup
