NRPE installation on HP-UX

[progressive.nagiosXI]

Yeah i have the 3rd party plugin but, if we are installing nagios plugin tar then it should include the plugin to monitor memory,

[lmiltchev]

The "official" nagios plugins (I believe 54 at this time) are meant to work on most operating systems. We cannot possibly include ALL plugins that work on all operating systems in our official package. For example, memory is checked differently on different operating systems, so there is no official memory plugin included in the tarball. This is where the 3rd party nagios plugins come in. There are thousands of different plugins, listed on the Nagios Exchange, which can be easily added to Nagios Core or Nagios XI.

I hope this makes sense.

We are using NRPE as agent.

3. Agent installation/uninstallation procedure for HP-UX. ==> Installation we have made a custom script by following the steps and its working. for uninstall we are not sure.

Uninstall would be to remove that your custom install script added.

4. Agent start stop procedure for HP-UX

This really depends on how it was installed, but likely some variant of

Code: Select all

/sbin/init.d/nrpe stop
/sbin/init.d/nrpe start

/sbin/init.d won't work? We don't have a HP UX server here, but when I googled how to start services on HP-UX that's what I came up with.

[progressive.nagiosXI]

This is nor working giving error NRPE not found,

We have followed below steps form NRPE installation general document to install NRPE in HP -UX

gunzip -c nrpe-3.2.1.tar.gz | tar xf -
cd nrpe-3.2.1
./configure --enable-command-args

make all

make install

make install-config

make install-inetd

echo nrpe \ \ 5666/tcp\ \ # Nagios monitoring >> /etc/services

echo nrpe stream tcp nowait nagios /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -i >> /etc/inetd.conf

mv /tmp/nrpe.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
/usr/sbin/inetd -c



but unaware of how to start or stop.
