xinetd is not a prerequisite for nrpe, it can be run as a daemon. I have some simple instructions I wrote up:
1) Disable the xinetd version and restart xinetd:
i - open the file /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe in your favorite editor
ii - replace the line:
with:
iii - restart xinetd:
2) Install the nrpe startup script if you don't already have it:
i - look in /etc/init.d/ for a file named nrpe
ii - if you don't have the file create a text file and copy the contents of the included attachment into it (don't just scp the file, you could end up with broken line endings)
iii - make sure that the file is set to 755 permissions and is owned by root.root
Code: Select all
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/nrpe
chown root.root /etc/init.d/nrpe
iv - enable nrpe at boot
3) Verify that your config is OK - Open your nrpe.cfg (usually at /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg) and verify the allowed_hosts line reads as you wish. This line is ignored when running from xinetd so it's important to verify. The settings from before can be gotten from the /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe file.
4) Start NRPE
5) Ensure that NRPE is up and running.
