Nagios Support Forum

Hi All,

i tried to find nscp agent for redhat 5, but i didn't found.
Anybody can help me with my search?

Thanks

NSCP is for Windows. What you're going to be wanting to look for is NRPE. Take a look at this: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... _Agent.pdf

In fact Nsclient is also available on Linux, but I have absolutely no experience with it.

I would also suggest the Nagios nrpe agent which is very stable. Never had any problem with it.

EDIT: Sorry apparently not for Red Hat 5 I see now..

Thanks Willem, I wasn't actually aware of that. I've probably seen it 50 times too. Sometimes it takes 51 times to register

Hi All,

i tried to install nrpe but i have below message, and what is the prerequest of no inernet connection available on host?

Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirror ... rch=x86_64 error was

What is your internet situation on the host?

we can't active the internet on this host (security issue).

Unfortunately we don't have an "offline" NRPE installer. You can try downloading the Linux agent (NRPE + Nagios plugins) on the different machine (with Internet access) and moving it over to your Redhat 5 server.

Untar the file, cd into the linux-nrpe-agent directory and run:
Find a way to install the prerequisites manually on the Redhat 5 machine - autoconf, gcc, glibc, libmcrypt-devel, make, openssl-devel, sudo, sysstat, xinetd, and bc.

Run the fullinstall script:
This may or may not work. Again, we don't have a "offline" installer. This is a "workaround".
