CentOS 7 not supported by NRPE

[toleolu]

I installed CentOS 7 on an old laptop to test installing the Nagios Linux client. Unpacked the tar ball, ran ./fullinstall and it told me el7 is not currently supported.

Is there a workaround for this, or should I just put a different flavor of Linux on this laptop. Won't be an issue for the production servers because none of our Linux stuff is this new.

Copy the binary files from your el6 release /usr/local/nagios.
It will work just fine.

You will likely want to wait until we get a version set up since el7 uses systemd instead of the old init system, I'll look around and see if anyone has done this yet. I would not copy over the binary from a different system unless it was compiled on a system which is literally identical to the el7 one, and the system that was used to compile was el7 itself, with systemd.

Don't worry about it, this is just testing, I'll just put CentOS 6 on it and go from there. Not a big deal.

Thanks

Sounds good, once it is available I'm sure we will be making note of it in a new version, or hopefully in a Labs post.
