NRPE agent installation error

[spatil32]

hi,
I have Nagios Core 3.4.1 in my environment. On one of the Centos server received below error while installing nrpe agent on it.
Could you please let me know what could be the issue.


http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/centos/5/os/i3 ... sts.xml.gz: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Trying other mirror.
Error: failure: repodata/filelists.xml.gz from centos: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

This looks like the server cannot connect to the repository.

This is not a surprise though as it looks like it is CentOS 5 which went End Of Life March 31st 2017

Hi Scot,
So it means the managed node is Centos 5 which is not supported by Linux NRPE agent.
I will check the version from my Linux team and confirm.

Thanks

Hi,

One another server which is CentOS 7.3.1611 x86_64 getting below packages error while installing nrpe agent. Just a query like is NRPE agent trying to remove some packages as per below install.log. And why is this error coming and how to get the agent installed. Please bear for stupid questions as I am new to Nagios.
Thanks.

I have no idea what repo @atrpms is but it is likely causing the problems.
