NRPE Offline Installation

[Johnsmit]

Hello,
can we install Nagios XI(master) and NRPE(Agent) plugin on the same server.?

is there any documentation on how to Offline install NRPE plugin in LInux VM and also the pre-requisites ?

Thanks,

yes, you can.

NRPE generally runs as an agent to collect data from remote machines though, so i'm wondering what vantage point you're after.

here's the NRPE install instructions - i don't believe there is a RPM install, but as long as you compile from source and have all offline reqs - should be good to go. https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=515

Hi, @Johnsmit. XI already comes with nrpe preinstalled. Please run:

Code: Select all

service xinetd start
service xinetd status

As far as the offline install of NRPE agent on a Linux VM. You could download the required packages from another online system and install it on the offline server before the installation. Here's the installation article:

Thanks,

can we do offline installation of Nrpe with the tar from the configuration wizards, as I doubt when I run ./full install it looks for required packages from online.

Hello,

Did NRPE not come preinstalled when you finished the offline install of XI?

Code: Select all

service xinetd start
service xinetd status

Which tar in the config wizards? Can you show us the path?

Otherwise, as they mentioned before.
