You can find Solaris instructions at https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=515

AIX and HP-UX will be similar, but we do not have those on which to test, so we do not have official instructions.There is a pre-compiled binary for earlier versions of AIX, which you can run in compatibility mode: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... _Agent.pdf

does it means Nagios Client is not support for AIX 7.1 and HP-UX 11.31.

or any other way we can get clear instruction along with the package to complete the POC .

Your HP-UX and AIX admins should be able to help you compile the software. We certainly have customers that are checking those operating systems. We do have former AIX admins on the support team, so as a customer, they would be able to remote in if you had a pressing issue. If you are already a customer, then you should be posting in the customer forums. If you don't have access to the customer forums, but are a customer, you should email [email protected] with your forum username.

That all said, the AIX C compiler may be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_XL_C/ ... _Compilers but it could be gcc as well.

It looks like http://h21007.www2.hpe.com/portal/site/ ... 5d6e10RCRD is what you should use on HP-UX.

Otherwise, you can translate the Solaris instructions. Basically, the steps are:
1. Install prereqs (a c-compiler, but possibly other things depending on your setup)
2. Download Software (usually wget, but you could use FileZilla locally if the machines don't have Internet access)
3. Compile Software

If you run into issues compiling for AIX or HP-UX, I would start separate threads for each of those.

You may also want to look into SNMP.
