I'm in a Redhat Enterprise 6 environment installing the XI NRPE agent (linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz). I'm following the instructions to install (Nagios XI - Installing The Linux Agent). Downloading from https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/agents/. When I get to the unpack, the tar program is complaining the tar file (linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz) is not a tar archive. Is it possible that the agent is not a valid tar file? I performed a md5sum to get the hash; 4eb9e2887e191a6128af9d5b42620fd2.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like your download possibility corrupted the file.
Can you login to the system and use the following to re-download the file?

Code: Select all

wget https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/agents/linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz
