Nagios XI 2014R2.1 Upgrade

[jkinning]

There is alot that didn't work with the scripts.

I ran the nmap command and noticed the status was closed so I looked at the /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe which was blank. Guess the script didn't create that either.

So, I created it with these values:
# default: on
# description: NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor)
service nrpe
{
flags = REUSE
type = UNLISTED
port = 5666
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = nagios
group = nagios
server = /usr/sbin/nrpe
server_args = -c /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg --inetd
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
only_from = 10.1.0.181
}

But then also noticed I don't have a /usr/sbin/nrpe file nor anything in /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg. In fact I don't even have a check_nrpe in the /usr/local/nagios/libexec. I have a bunch of other stuff which looks like got installed with the scripts.

Here is where the nrpe agent should have installed the files.
The executable should be in /usr/local/nagios/bin and the nrpe.cfg file should be in /usr/local/nagios/etc

Check those folders and see if they are there, if they are there, update your /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe file to the following

Code: Select all

server          = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe
server_args     = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd

Then restart the nrpe service

[jkinning]

I had the nsca and nothing else listed under /usr/local/nagios/bin

I did have the nrpe.cfg under /usr/local/nagios/etc/

Is there an easy way to get nrpe until someone can fix this installer? Hopefully, sooner rather than later.

[lmiltchev]

While installing the linux agent, did you follow this document?
What is the output of the following command?

Code: Select all

grep nag /etc/group

Can you post the "/tmp/linux-nrpe-agent/install.log"?

[jkinning]

grep nag /etc/group
nagcmd:!
nagios1001:nagios


I've already attached my install.log on the 1st page of this thread, post number 3 & 4. I can post again if you don't see the install.log attachment.

[tgriep]

It looks like the nagcmd grpup didn't get created correctly, can you run this command to fix it?

Code: Select all

usermod -A nagcmd nagios

It is unclear on why the nrpe agent didn't compile. Can you run this command and post the output?

Code: Select all

ll -R /tmp/linux-nrpe-agent/subcomponents/nrpe

[jkinning]

[tgriep]

Sorry, I typo-ed the command

Try this from /tmp/linux-nrpe-agent/ folder

Code: Select all

usermod -G nagios nagios
usermod -G nagcmd nagios
touch installed.repos
touch installed.prereqs
touch installed.usersgroups

If these work, run the following to install the nrpe agent

./fullinstall

If it fails, post back the upgrade.log

[jkinning]

This looks promising -

However, I still have (Return code of 255 is out of bounds) on all my checks but ping.

First lets restart the xinetd daemon on the Suse server. Run this command on the Suse server.

Code: Select all

service xinetd restart

Try running this test from your NagiosXI server from a shell.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/check_nrpe -H <ip address of the SUSE server> -4

It should return "NRPE v2.15" if everything is running.

If it fails, run these commands from the Suse server and post back the output.

Code: Select all

cat /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
