NRPE plugin installation problem

[sa2057]

Hello,

I want to monitor windows updates through Nagios, to accomplish this I need NRPE plugin to be installed on Nagios core.

OS: Cent os 32-bit

Here is the result when I tried to install the plugin...

cannot find ssl libraries

Could some one help me in installing NRPE plugin and any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

You need to make sure that openssl and the openssl-devel packages are installed so that you can compile NRPE with SSL.

yum install openssl
yum install openssl-devel

Though I am not sure what this has to do with monitoring a windows box... if you want NRPE on a windows box then you need to install NSClient++.

If you need to monitor event log items then your best bet is to install NSCA http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Ad ... or/details on your nagios server and then install the NagEventLog client on your windows server http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Ad ... og/details

You can also use NSClient++ to do a similar job but i've found it to be less reliable: http://www.nsclient.org/nscp/wiki/Check ... ckEventLog
