Nagios and NRPE yum update

[Satmakuru]

Hi
I recently installed nagios core and nrpe on my servers and I used wget to download the package and install them. Is there a way now to add the repository and add it our yum update command so that it updates the nrpe clients when the system gets an update?

How often the nagios and nrpe libraries gets updated and how do we know that there is an update for a nrpe ?

Thanks

Hello @satmakuru,

How often the nagios and nrpe libraries gets updated and how do we know that there is an update for a nrpe ?

We push out updates on a regular basis. They are open-source programs and you can follow the progress on GitHub if you'd like.

Below are the instructions for upgrading Core and NRPE:

It is possible to install NRPE vis yum as well. They are community maintained.

Is it possible to get these updates added to my yum repo ? I installed Nagios and NRPE with the source packages. How do I add these updates so that the nrpe agent and nagios gets updates along with my linux updates?

Hi Satmakuru,

If you installed NRPE from source, then you can't really change the install to use yum for updates. You'd have to backup and then re-install using yum.

Thank you. Which repo can we add to get the latest updates to yum repository?
