Hi,
If I want nagios to monitor about 20 servers is it necessary to install nagios NRPE on each and every server that needs to be monitored. Is there any other way can you please provide me a little precise explanation or any url that teaches steps to do it.

NRPE is only one of the protocols you can use to monitor Windows/Nix servers with, if you do indeed want to use it here is a document which will answer just about any question you throw at it in terms of installation and configuration:

Thanks for you reply. The book was really helpful and solved all my doubts. In the same way do you have any such url to deal with Map in my web UI because every time I click on Map it's giving me a error 404. Is that where I need to install nagios graph to see the Map GUI or do we have any other way? please explain.

Can you run the following right after you click on the "Map" link?
Code: Select all
tail /var/log/httpd/access_log
tail /var/log/httpd/error_log
And reply with what the output is.

you are missing at least one of the cgis. Is it somewhere else?

If your nagios instance is on CentOS, you can try running the following command:
Then go in your nagios source folder and run:
Code: Select all
./configure
make
make-cgis
make install-cgis
Hope this helps.
