Adding plugins to monitored NRPE hosts

Post by dgatlas »

This may must be my lack of understanding on how NRPE functions.

Say that I have 100 linux nodes monitored and I wrote a new plugin to check bandwidth usage. How/when (if?) does NRPE upload this plugin to all the monitored hosts?

For example: check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 30 -c check_bandwidth $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$

It does not. You will need to push the file out to the remote hosts.
