linux-nrpe-agent unattended offline installation

[ranjitw]

Hi Team,

We need to perform unattended install of linux-nrpe-agent on a machine where there is no internet access. What all need to be set as prerequiestes.

Can you please suggest the steps to be followed ?

What do you mean by "unattended"?

The process is as follows

1) move files
2) extract tar
3) run fullinstall script (or compile manually depending on the package you used)
4) adjust configuration to suit your needs

Now I don't know what you mean by unattended. If you mean DevOps style truly unattended you'll need something like Chef or Puppet to handle the installation for you. That's outside the scope of our support forums, but is well documented at each of the respective platforms websites.

If you mean "without logging into a console" - the above can all be scripted using scp and ssh commands.

Hi jdalrymple,

I mean silent installation (unattended) . What would be the option for performing silent installation where i will not be prompted for inputs.

You would have to modify the fullinstall script or use a different product like @jdalrymple suggested in the previous post.

Hi,

Is there no option where I can give fullinstall an input ?

If you're using the latest version of NRPE there should be a -n for non-interactive mode on fullinstall. It assumes defaults for everything but does not add any hosts to the configuration. You'd have to do that afterwards yourself.
