Oh nice that started fine, no errors reported. I'll have to get Nagios to handle the data checks now.

Does that mean that this one is resolved?

umm I still have to get the checks working properly in the Nagios Web interface, so not fully solved just yet.

Quick question, I have a nrpe config file but when I go to run a nrpe command it says check_nrpe is not found. So I went looking in the libexec folder and it isn't there. Does this mean I should reinstall the nrpe plugin?

When you say reinstall...you had it at one point?

Code: Select all

find / -name check_nrpe

I believe I started to install it due to thinking I needed it then I may have stopped. I'll be honest I can't remember. I'm gonna install from scratch to make sure. Sorry for the kerfuffle.

No worries, I forgive you since you used the word kerfuffle.

Ok now NRPE is installed:

Code: Select all

 ./check_nrpe -H localhost
NRPE v2.15

But when I run the command check_nrpe it just says:

Code: Select all

check_nrpe: command not found

The file exists in libexec:

Code: Select all

find / -name check_nrpe
/home/futuresign/Downloads/nagios/nrpe-2.14/src/check_nrpe
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe

Am I missing something?

You have to either call it by the actual path(/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe), or be in the directory that the binary is sitting in. If you wanted to you COULD "make your own command" to make this easier.
