Error getting NRPE to install on Redhat 8

[HIINNS]

My mistake. When I try running the services (CPU, disk, Memory etc.) no data is returned. I checked the /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe file and everything is in order. Any suggestion on where to look??

[HIINNS]

I looked further and the /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe file does not exist. Any recommendations?

Got the following when installing nrpe.

yum localinstall nrpe-4.0.3-6.el8.x86_64.rpm

Hi,
How are you doing?
I think your "nrpe" is installed at a different location because it was built (packaged) for RHEL 8.

Please run the below command and post outputs:

Code: Select all

rpm -ql nrpe

Also, please run and post outputs of these commands:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe

ss -na | grep 5666

ps -ef | grep nrpe

If you want to run "nrpe" with xinetd, then you must change the content of the "/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe" since the content location is different now. We will find out more when I get those outputs.


Best Regards,
