Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2019 4:07 pm
Is there an AIX 7.2 nrpe agent?
The site is called http://www.perzl.org/aix/
The links below are direct links to the files you need to download to the AIX server.

Put them all in one folder and run the following to install all of the packages.
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
The /etc/nagios/nrpe.conf needs to be changed a bit to get it to work so edit that file.
This option will have to be set to 1 to allow the NRPE agent to accept arguments.
dont_blame_nrpe=1
Change this from
pid_file=/var/run/nagios-nrpe/nrpe.pid
to
pid_file=/var/run/nrpe/nrpe.pid
to match the pid file in the init script.
Save the changes and restart the NRPE service.
If you want to use arguments in the commands that you define in XI, you will also have to do the following changes in the /etc/nagios/nrpe.conf file.
Comment out the hard coded commands
Code: Select all
#command[check_users]=/opt/freeware/lib/nagios/plugins/check_users -w 5 -c 10
#command[check_load]=/opt/freeware/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -r -w .15,.10,.05 -c .30,.25,.20
#command[check_hda1]=/opt/freeware/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p /dev/hda1
#command[check_zombie_procs]=/opt/freeware/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 5 -c 10 -s Z
#command[check_total_procs]=/opt/freeware/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 150 -c 200Uncomment these commands.
Code: Select all
command[check_users]=/opt/freeware/lib/nagios/plugins/check_users $ARG1$
command[check_load]=/opt/freeware/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load $ARG1$
command[check_disk]=/opt/freeware/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk $ARG1$
command[check_swap]=/opt/freeware/lib/nagios/plugins/check_swap $ARG1$
### PROCESSES ###
command[check_all_procs]=/opt/freeware/lib/nagios/plugins/custom_check_procs
command[check_procs]=/opt/freeware/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs $ARG1$Change to the NRPE user by running this
sudo su - nrpe
Then to start the Agent, run this
/opt/freeware/sbin/nrpe -c /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg -d
To test to see if the AIX server can be polled from the Nagios server, run the following command from the Nagios server (replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the IP Addrerss on the AIX server)
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
If it returns the version number then you should be able to run the NRPE commands from the XI server.
