@rtsupport, Please install the following packages:
Code: Select all
yum install -y gcc glibc glibc-common openssl openssl-devel perl wget
But also, your system needs to be registered with RedHat subscription manager.

@rtsupport, Looks like your server is not registered with the RedHat subscription server:
Code: Select all
This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.
Once you register RedHat please rerun the installation.
Also, the error says that no package xinetd is available. Run:
Code: Select all
yum provides xinetd
yum install xinetd

thanks,
subscription was there, and after running below xinetd nagios client is installed.
but now from our nagios server while checking nrpe status getting below error.
Code: Select all
[nagios@usa***** libexec]$ ./check_nrpe -H usa0*****
CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.
[nagios@usa*********libexec]$ ./check_nrpe -H usa0****** -t 20
CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 20 seconds.
from one of the collector server
Code: Select all
-bash-4.1$ ./check_nrpe -H usa*****
connect to address 13.11.11.11 port 5666: Connection refused
connect to host usa***** port 5666: Connection refused

@rtsupport, From both servers run nmap towards the NRPE server to see if the port 5666 is open.
Make sure there's no firewall on the nrpe server preventing connections.
Did you add both XI server IP addresses to the only_from line in the /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe file? Restart the npre service with:
Look into syslog on the nrpe server for any error messages.

Verified IP's are added in nrpe file, services restarted also.
seems there is firewall issue -

@rtsupport, Try these commands to open up firewall on the NRPE server:
Code: Select all
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 5666 -j ACCEPT
service iptables save
ip6tables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 5666 -j ACCEPT
service ip6tables save

thank you! for sharing the steps --
as we do not have os firewall enabled need to work with firewall team to enable 5666 port will get back to you once have update from network team.
so i have to request only 5666 port to be enable or 4780 as well ? or if any other as per your suggestion

@rtsupport, It's 5666 for check_nrpe and 12489 for check_nt. Not sure what you're using the port 4780 for?
