if this works from the remote server and the Nagios server how do I now add it in the NagiosXI console?

On the remote server, you can set the following command in the nrpe.cfg file (if you don't have it already):
Code: Select all
command[check_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs $ARG1$
and restart NRPE, so that changes can take effect.
Test your check by running the following command from the command line on the Nagios XI server:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H <remote ip> -c check_procs -a '-c 1: -C httpd'
If it works as expected, set up a service in Nagios XI.
Example config:
Code: Select all
define service {
host_name myhost
service_description Procs HTTPD
use xiwizard_nrpe_service
check_command check_nrpe!check_procs!-a '-c: 1 -C httpd'
max_check_attempts 5
check_interval 5
retry_interval 1
check_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
notification_interval 60
notification_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
notifications_enabled 1
contacts nagiosadmin
_xiwizard linux-server
register 1
}

Code: Select all
[root@nag libexec]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.42 -c check_procs -a '-c 1: -C httpd'
PROCS OK: 5 processes with command name 'httpd' | procs=5;;1:;0;

Yeah, it seems like it's working as expected. Try stopping the httpd process on the remote server, and test your check again. You should get a "critical".

I don't see where to put this in at.
check_nrpe!check_procs!-a '-c: 1 -C httpd'
I have done what you asked just not sure what to put in $ARG! etc.. Please advise or show me if you can.
