Linux NRPE: unable to read output

[rkennedy]

Can you post the service definition for one of those services that isn't working?

Also, verify the permissions -

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/libexec/

- (works against an empty CentOS 6.x with ./fullinstall done)

Question, could you please provide instructions for compiling on RHEL 5.x / 6.x and SLES 10.x / 11.x (as well as for CentOS 6.x / 7.x and OpenSUSE 13.x / 14.x)?
- maybe ./fullinstall is not a good option to begin with?

Thanks,
Dimitri

We have a document for that: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

Why don't you try these steps and post back?

Just one more question: I see no SuSe in the document (half of our servers would be SLES, so this is important)?

[hsmith]

I've worked a lot with a company that is using it across multiple SLES servers. Perhaps take a look at this document: http://www.octopuscs.com/blogs/Linux/Ho ... n-openSuse

It is not our document, so I cannot verify the integrity of the source, but steps are accurate. I would use a newer NRPE in place of the version they are linking in that post, though.

This manual no longer applies to the latest Nagios Linux agent (?)

In manual # 4
# tar zxvf nrpe-2.13.tar.gz
# cd nrpe-2.13.tar.gz
# ./configure --disable-ssl
# make all


- neither of the latest Linux NRPE agent downloads contain (./configure) to use with the manual

From my history file:

Code: Select all

 428  wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagios/files/nrpe-2.x/nrpe-2.14/nrpe-2.14.tar.gz
  429  tar xzf nrpe-2.14.tar.gz
  430  ls
  431  cd nrpe-2.14
  432  ls

Output of ls command from above:

configure is there.

Which agents are you attempting to download?

Which agents are you attempting to download?

attempted linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz and linux-nrpe-agent-offline.tar.gz (Nagios Assets)

./configure is present and works from your download, however make all fails (attached)

[hsmith]

Do you have openssl-devel installed? If not, can you please get that installed and try once more?

Same thing so far.
Why to advertise OpenSuse (or Suse or even RedHat for that matter) in Linux Server agent monitoring if none works after installing stock Nagios Linux agent?
