SUSE (SLES 11) NRPE

[jkinning]

I am trying to monitor a SUSE (SLES11) server and it doesn't look like the Linux server Monitoring Wizard has a predefined SUSE template like it does for Red Hat, CentOS, and Ubuntu. Will there ever be one? How would I request a feature enhancement to have that included in the product?

I am trying to go down the nrpe route but I cannot find the plugins that the nrpe agent is using.
command[check_users]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_users -w 5 -c 10
command[check_load]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20
command[check_sda]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p /dev/sda
command[check_zombie_procs]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 5 -c 10 -s Z
command[check_total_procs]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 150 -c 200

Is there a listing of other settings that the nrpe agent can monitor, is that the check_nrpe plugin? Like what version of the nrpe agent is being ran, memory, etc?

The wizard really just sets up OS-specific icons in terms of which OS you choose. Everything else should be the same because what matters is the command you have defined on the remote NRPE server. You will need to locate or install the nagios plugins and edit your NRPE command definitions to match those locations. The command names should stay the same so the wizard will work well with check_nrpe.

As for feature requests, I can file an internal one for you on this.

Thanks I would like to see Nagios XI support SUSE (SLES) since it is more of an Enterprise Linux Distribution than Ubuntu.

Internal feature request filed. ID 3772.

Did you get the plugins working at least?

Thanks for filing the request.

I have the client installed but now trying to track down the plugins.

There are a few good hits here:

You may also want to check out "How to install Nagios on Suse/SLES" as it will, or rather should, include steps to install the plugins, so you can find them for NRPE.
