Nagios XI monitoring client install issue on Debian 8

Post by kcarsey »

Hello.

I am trying to install the Nagios XI monitoring client on a Debian 8.2 server. I am getting the following error: "sed: can't read /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe: No Such File or Directory"

Below is a snippet of the end of the install log. The log is too many characters to post in it's entirety. I have installed the monitoring on a different Debian server with no issues. The only difference that I can think of is that the server I have successfully installed the client on was a fresh Debian 8.2 install, and the one I am currently trying to install on was upgraded from Debian 7 to 8.2 I have updated all apt sources.

Code: Select all

*** Configuration summary for nsca 2.9.1 01-27-2012 ***:

 General Options:
 -------------------------
 NSCA port:  5667
 NSCA user:  nagios
 NSCA group: nagios


Review the options above for accuracy.  If they look okay,
type 'make all' to compile the NSCA daemon and client.

cd ./src/; make all ; cd ..
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-nrpe-agent/subcomponents/nsca/nsca-2.9.1/src'
gcc -g -O2 -DHAVE_LIBMCRYPT -I/usr/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -o nsca ./nsca.c ./netutils.c ./utils.c -L/usr/lib -lmcrypt  -lnsl 
gcc -g -O2 -DHAVE_LIBMCRYPT -I/usr/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -o send_nsca ./send_nsca.c ./netutils.c ./utils.c -L/usr/lib -lmcrypt  -lnsl
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-nrpe-agent/subcomponents/nsca/nsca-2.9.1/src'

*** Compile finished ***

If the compile finished without any errors, you should
find client and server binaries in the src/ subdirectory.

Read the README file for more information on installing
the binaries, creating configuration files, and using
the server and client.

Is xinetd installed on this system? What is the output of the following commands?

Code: Select all

which xinetd
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
find / -name nrpe
If NRPE was not installed for some reason, you could try installing it manually:

Code: Select all

cd /tmp/linux-nrpe-agent/subcomponents/nrpe
./install
