Nagios Support Forum

Under nrpe.cfg this is the only line of text:


command[check_mem]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/contrib/check_mem.pl -u -w 90 -c 95


THANK YOU!

Brian

You are missing everything that would allow nagios to control the receiving/sending of information over NRPE. How did you install Nagios xi? Lets check and see if you have the correct scripts downloaded to re-install NRPE. Run the following and let me know what shows up in that folder:

I am running Nagios® Core™ 3.2.3 -

will that same cmd work?

I apologize, new to nagios.. but thank you for your reply!

Apologies as I trolled the forums I made a typo Please download the tarball I have attached into your /tmp/ directory and place the install script next to it, then run the following from that directory:
Assuming you are running Centos, or RHEL

THANKS Again!!!

Brian

Oh darn here it is, should be attached.. silly me..

Run the following on that script from the same directory the tarball is located:

Are you by chance running on Ubuntu? Do you have the libssl-dev package installed? I made a change to the install script lets see if that did the trick.. over write your old version with the new attached one then run chmod +x on it and run it again.

CentOS 6.0

having issues using the 2nd install file that you provided me..
