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.

Being specific these questions were asked by them

1. Nagios Agent OS support Matrix.
2. Nagios Agent version release note.
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.
4. Agent start stop procedure for HP-UX

We are using NRPE as agent.

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

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

Code: Select all

/sbin/init.d/nrpe stop

/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.

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
