Hi,
what is the best agent to monitor e.g. disks and cpu for Linux machines? nrpe?

Yup - NRPE
You can also use NCPA, that is the hopeful future, but today NRPE is the quickest and easiest to get going with. SNMP would be your other big option.

2.15 works fine... Use our install document and it will lead you right through:

Code: Select all
[root@localhost jdalrymple]# cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 (Core)
[root@localhost jdalrymple]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1
NRPE v2.15
