nagios NRPE 64 bit

[hermy7]

I have try to install NRPE agent on server running centos 64 bit, however it not possible to detect all linux services except the ping service.
Is it there is any NRPE agent that we can use for 64 bit linux server ?
Thanks.

The NRPE agent is supposed to work on both, 32- and 64-bit machines. Did you follow our documentation for installing the agent?

http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... _Agent.pdf

Did you get any errors during the installation?

Ow ok, but why when i download use this link wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ent.tar.gz
and installed it show there is no xinetd.d file at the end of the installation.
I discover that there is no folder for /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe to edit allowable IP address.
so I guest it need 64 bit nagiosxi NRPE because it work fine for 32 bit linux.
I have try several link form google to install nagios NRPE 64bit and it also not work at the end.
is it there is any plugin I have to install before installing nagiosxi NRPE.
thanks.

What is the CentOS distro that you are trying to install the NRPE agent to?

[hermy7]

I'm try using centos 5.4 64 bit..
running in the dell sever r610 power edge...

OK, I will do some testing and will get back to you as soon as I am done.

I didn't have CentOS 5.4... it's quite old. I tested installing the NRPE agent on CentOS 5.5 64-bit and it worked perfectly. It will take some time before I test it on CentOS 5.4 64-bit but meanwhile you can try running in terminal:

Code: Select all

# yum install xinetd

Then, reinstall the agent on the target machine:

Code: Select all

# wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/agents/linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz
# tar xzf linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz
# cd linux-nrpe-agent
# ./fullinstall

At the end of the installation, you should be asked to enter the Nagios server IP address.

hermy7,

Just wanted to let you know that over the weekend I tested the install of the NRPE agent on a clean CentOS 5.4 64-bit system and it worked "out-of-the-box" for me. I didn't have any issues with xinetd whatsoever. There must be something unique to your setup that prevented you from installing the agent properly.
So, what is the status of your issue? Any progress?

its working fine now...
my friends tell me I should download rpmforge to resolve dependencies in the linux centos.
http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/
so i don't have to install xinetd or other file needed for linuxnrpe..
Just use wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ent.tar.gz and fullinstall..
it's works without any error at the end of installation...
