Hello,
can we install Nagios XI(master) and NRPE(Agent) plugin on the same server.?

is there any documentation on how to Offline install NRPE plugin in LInux VM and also the pre-requisites ?

Thanks,

yes, you can.

NRPE generally runs as an agent to collect data from remote machines though, so i'm wondering what vantage point you're after.

here's the NRPE install instructions - i don't believe there is a RPM install, but as long as you compile from source and have all offline reqs - should be good to go. https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=515

Hi, @Johnsmit. XI already comes with nrpe preinstalled. Please run: As far as the offline install of NRPE agent on a Linux VM. You could download the required packages from another online system and install it on the offline server before the installation. Here's the installation article:

Thanks,

can we do offline installation of Nrpe with the tar from the configuration wizards, as I doubt when I run ./full install it looks for required packages from online.

Hello,

Did NRPE not come preinstalled when you finished the offline install of XI?
Which tar in the config wizards? Can you show us the path?

Otherwise, as they mentioned before.
