Nagios Support Forum

I need to install the agent for Nagios XI on "Oracle VM server release 3.2.3" 64bit and "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga)".

What procedure should I use

The exchange has an Oracle vm plugin:

The linux nrpe agent should work and would probably be the easiest to setup.

The agent itself is essentially the same install for both. I don't recall if we have altered the agent to normally install on oracle linux or not.

I download the file "check_ovm3", and now?

I get this error:

[root@ovmn linux-nrpe-agent]# ./fullinstall
enterpriseenterpriseserver5.5 is not currently supported. Please use Red Hat or CentOS versions 5 or 6.

Can you run "cat /etc/*elease"? Was this on your redhat or oracle system? There will need to be some changes to the install script for oracle, I would suggest getting the RHEL system installed and working so you know what to expect, then we will be happy to help with OEL.

this is the output of command:

[root@ovm01 ~]# cat /etc/*elease
Oracle VM server release 3.2.3
Oracle VM Server release 5.7
Oracle VM server release 3.2.3
Oracle VM server release 3.2.3

and

[root@ovmn ~]# cat /etc/*elease
Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Carthage)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga)

OK, so you are actually using an oracle vm host server, and another oracle vm of some sort. Neither of the two listed are RHEL servers. You can start by removing the lines 69-80 in ./fullinstall to remove OS restrictions, however especially with the vm server I would guess we will have future issues.

now, i get this error:

[root@ovmn linux-nrpe-agent]# more install.log
