Hi
I installed nrpe agent on Sol 10 machine as per the pdf :
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... _Agent.pdf

However nrpe is not running on the server. Below are the logs:

svc:/application/nagios/nrpe:default: Method "/lib/svc/method/nrpe start" failed with exit status 1.

Could you please let me know where I can look for the issue

I can't verify because I've never used that particular document for installation, however my suspicion is that document assumes the use of inetd. You're probably not using that on your system.

If you want to use SMF to start Nagios you'll have to setup a manifest. There is a really good write-up on the process here:

Alternatively you can enable inetd and add a line something like this to the configuration file /etc/inet/inetd.conf:

Locking because it has been moved into a ticket.
