Nagios XI – Installing The Linux Agent

[lntinfo]

for monitoring RHEL server under nagiosxi do we need to have internet download connection for running below commands:
./0-yum
./1-prereqs
./2-usersgroups
./3-services
./A-subcomponents

or those pkgs reside under linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz

[scottwilkerson]

First you should not run then individually, just run ./fullinstall

and YES, you do need an internet connection to install the required packages.

[lntinfo]

does that monitoring system require RHN registration ?
on which we are going to install nrpe.

[scottwilkerson]

Yes, I do believe you will need RHN registration to install the required packages.

[lntinfo]

after i run #./fullinstall below error persist
enterpriseenterpriseserver5.7 is not currently supported. Please use Red Hat or CentOS versions 5 or 6.

here can i go with Nagios XI – Monitoring Linux Using SNMP. if installing agent is not possible with 5.7

[scottwilkerson]

We had posted some modifications to the install script yesterday, I'm not positive if they will have any effect on your install but you may want to re-download the agent and try again.

Otherwise certainly you could use SNMP to monitor Linux boxes as well

[lntinfo]

can you pls. provide me the link for download the agent
