The above statement (in red) doesn't sound right... You cannot be possibly running Nagios XI on Debian, and installing the Linux agent (NRPE + Nagios plugins) on the same machine...
I would assume that you are installing the Linux agent on a Debian box, that you want to monitor in Nagios XI (that runs on a different machine).
To start troubleshooting, let's first take a look at the /etc/apt/sources.list. Debian 8 likes to keep the cd rom in the repos section and uses that first. Can you try commenting it out, saving the file and running the following commands?
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
If these command run successfully, then you could try rerunning the fullinstall script. Alternatively, you could try installing the xinetd first:
then, running the fullinstall.
Let us know if this helped.
