Hi Nagios User/Sys-Admin,

Firstly I want to congratulate you for the excellent work that you realized this year !

This topic is about an issue to install the NRPE on new cPanel server, we use this line to install it form a long time:

wget https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/agents/linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz  -O /root/linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz
cd /root/
tar -xzf /root/linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz
cd /root/linux-nrpe-agent/
touch installed.firewall
./fullinstall --non-interactive

The error return is:

Code: Select all

The error look "check_mysql.c:61: erreur: ‘MYSQL_PORT’ undeclared here (not in a function)" look due to MariaDB10.2:

Code: Select all

[~/linux-nrpe-agent]# rpm -qa | grep MariaDB

MariaDB-shared-10.2.22-1.el6.x86_64

After some research I found those topic:

https://github.com/nagios-plugins/nagio ... issues/288

I try to define MYSQL_PORT in /root/linux-nrpe-agent/subcomponents/nagiosplugins/nagios-plugins-2.2.1/plugins/check_mysql.c like this:

Code: Select all

sed -i 's/int db_port = MYSQL_PORT/int db_port = 3306/' /root/linux-nrpe-agent/subcomponents/nagiosplugins/nagios-plugins-2.2.1/plugins/check_mysql.c

But each time I launch "./fullinstall" it's overwrite this file....

Do you have a work-arround for this ?

Best regards,
Quentin

Usually this variable is pulled from mysql_version.h which should be found even on systems with mariadb.

That said, you'll likely need to modify decompress /root/linux-nrpe-agent/subcomponents/nagiosplugins/nagios-plugins-2.2.1.tar.gz, edit the check_mysql.c found in it, and then compress it back into a tar.gz file before running ./fullinstall.

When using the newer MariaDB package from Mariadb, they changed some settings in the header files which will cause the
check_mysql
and the
check_mysql_query
plugins to not compile.

To fix this, you can either go back to the default MariaDB packages or manually compile the plugins.

To manually compile the software, you will have to extract the plugins package, edit the c files and then run the XI install/
If the Nagios XI package is in the /tmp/nagiosxi folder, do the following

Code: Select all

cd /tmp/linux-nrpe-agent/subcomponents/nagiosplugins
tar xvfz nagios-plugins-2.2.1.tar.gz
cd nagios-plugins-2.2.1/plugins

Edit the check_mysql.c and check_mysql_query.c files and add the following line

Code: Select all

#include <server/private/custom_conf.h>

Below this line

Code: Select all

#include <errmsg.h>

Save the file and try installing the Agent.
