The above statement (in red) doesn't sound right... You cannot be possibly running Nagios XI on Debian, and installing the Linux agent (NRPE + Nagios plugins) on the same machine...

I would assume that you are installing the Linux agent on a Debian box, that you want to monitor in Nagios XI (that runs on a different machine).

To start troubleshooting, let's first take a look at the /etc/apt/sources.list. Debian 8 likes to keep the cd rom in the repos section and uses that first. Can you try commenting it out, saving the file and running the following commands?

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

If these command run successfully, then you could try rerunning the fullinstall script. Alternatively, you could try installing the xinetd first:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install xinetd

then, running the fullinstall.

Let us know if this helped.

well , i install xinetd , and now the fullinstall is ok.

And yes i wanted to install NRPE on linux clientside not my nagios server.

Thanks a lot !
