Hi

nagiosxi-nrpe RPM package for RHEL 7 seems to use xinetd. Will that eventually be migrated to systemd?

Hello, @sib.
Can you check what version of NRPE plugin you're running? From what i know NRPE v3 and up should use systemd instead of xinetd.

Hi

I am using your nagiosxi-nrpe package from the RPM repository. The version is still 2.15. Do you offer the version 3 package in your RPM repository? (https://repo.nagios.com/)

@sib , It may not be available in oficcial Nagios repo yet. But there are users who made unofficial rpm releases. For example:
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/nrpe
Also a good way to check for a new version of NRPE is to run: You'll see something like: nrpe.x86_64 : Host/service/network monitoring agent for Nagios
Run yum list nrpe.x86_64 and you should see the NRPE release version somewhere.
If the version is higher than 3.0 you can install it if you'd like with: yum install <package name>

Make sure to delete your old nrpe plugin before you install the new one.

Hi

We are obliged to use the version provided by the supported vendor and therefore we can only use your version.
Would be great if v3 can make it into your repository.

@sib, I see. As of right now, version 3.x is still in a process of testing and reviewing. RPM will be released sometime in the future, but as of right now we don't have the exact timeframe.

Pitty for not having a timeframe.

You can close this case though.
