Unable to install with OEL64 OS

[ejwalsh]

Good Morning:

I received the following error when trying to do this installation. I was wondering if you answer this question, or point me to where I should be forwarding this request…Thanks Edward

I downloaded the latest from the site you gave in the install notes…

This document describes how to install the Linux monitoring agent on target RHEL and CentOS Linux servers. Other Linux
distributions may be added in the future.
Target Audience
This document is intended for use by Nagios Administrators who wish to monitor Linux servers with Nagios XI.
Installing the agent
Download the Linux NRPE agent to the /tmp directory on the Linux server you wish to monitor.
# cd /tmp
For RHEL/CentOS 5-6 (el5 & el6):
# wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ent.tar.gz
For RHEL 4 & CentOS 4 (el4):
# wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... el4.tar.gz
Unpack the installation archive you just downloaded:
# tar xzf linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz
Enter the newly created agent subdirectory:
# cd linux-nrpe-agent
Run the wrapper script:
# ./fullinstall

[root]# ./fullinstall
oracleserver6.4 is not currently supported. Please use Red Hat or CentOS versions 5 or 6.
[root]#

Is this correct, or will it be supportred in a later release? OEL64 is RH 5 or 6… hhhmmm…Or is there something else I need to be doing to get this configuratuion to work on this server..

Over to you...Thanks Edward

It is not "officially" supported, but you can modify the "fullinstall" script and make it work. Open the "fullinstall" in a text editor, and go to line 74, and add "oracleserver6.4" so it will look like this:

Code: Select all

fedora9|fedora10|fedora11|fedora12|fedora13|fedora14|fedora15|oracleserver6.4 )

save, exit, and run "./fullinstall". It *should* work.

Let us know if you have any more issues.

Morning:

Thank you very much for your feedback and quick reply. I have modified the line you stated in the ./fullinstall file, saved and ran, it installed, with no issues. So we have another happy client..Will you be attending the upcoming Nagios Conference in St. Paul. I am a new administrator of this product, and have never attended the conference or used this forum before, so really appreciated the feedback...Thanks Edward

Edward,
I am glad we could be of assistance to you. Can't wait to meet you come the 30th. As a new admin of XI, I would like to suggest that you at least consider attending my (and Eric's) presentation covering the available APIs in core and XI. It may help to give you an edge when trying to understand the backend of the products.

Happy Monitoring and Cheers,

Andy
