Nagios XI agent Sys V package build for Solaris 10

[Sundar]

Hi,

We have a requirement to install Nagios XI agents (Solaris & Weblogic Agents) offline on Solaris 10 SPARC. The client needs Sys V package for Solaris agent and Weblogic agent deployment in their environment. We referred few links like the ones below and we have few queries around building the package

1. Do we need nagios-plugin (nagios-plugins-2.1.1.tar.gz) on the remote host to build the package? If yes, any specific reason?
2. Do we use Solaris agent (solaris-nrpe-agent.tar.gz) or nrpe source (nrpe-2.15) to build the package for OS level monitoring?
3. Can we use Weblogic agent (wlsagent-r185.tar.gz) to build the package or is there a source code available for Weblogic monitoring? Please provide any link to download
4. Is it mandatory to create a nagios "user" & "group" on the Solaris 10 host or can the package be built as "root"?
5. Hope we can build a single package with all source codes?

Please advise

Regards,
Sundar

I don't believe the build will fail without it.

Do we use Solaris agent (solaris-nrpe-agent.tar.gz) or nrpe source (nrpe-2.15) to build the package for OS level monitoring?

You should be using the Solaris one.

Can we use Weblogic agent (wlsagent-r185.tar.gz) to build the package or is there a source code available for Weblogic monitoring? Please provide any link to download

To the best of my knowledge, this is untested for building. Check out this page for Weblogic plugins: https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... s/Weblogic

Is it mandatory to create a nagios "user" & "group" on the Solaris 10 host or can the package be built as "root"?

It's best practice to make a separate user. Using root isn't secure at all.

Hope we can build a single package with all source codes?

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here. Could you be more specific?
