Installing Linux client on RedHat and Suse

[dlukinski]

Hello Nagios Support

We have just acquired your product and would like to begin monitoring our Linux servers with it. Mainly these distributions:
- SuSE Ent 64-bit 10/11
- RedHat EL 64-bit 5.10 / 5.11 / 6.5 / 6.6

We have no prior experience in installing or using XI Linux clients while there is a need to communicate binary and installation & configuration procedures to the third party.
Where to begin and how you could help us with it?

Thank you

The steps are all there and pretty simple. The fullinstall script takes care of almost everything for you. If you run into issues, please let us know!

tar zxvf linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz
cd linux-nrpe-agent

Modify the "/tmp/linux-nrpe-agent/subcomponents/install" file in a text editor. Comment out the read & hard code the IP for your Nagios server:
