I recently installed NCPA on my core servers so I could monitor them locally. The first server worked out great. But the second server is having issues with NCPA.

[root@xxxxxx]# systemctl status ncpa_listener
● ncpa_listener.service - LSB: This manages the NCPA Listener service
Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/ncpa_listener; bad; vendor preset: disabled)

What should I do to get this service started correctly?

I think I may have downloaded the wrong nagios repository:
rpm -Uvh https://repo.nagios.com/nagios/8/nagios ... noarch.rpm

when I was supposed to download

rpm -Uvh https://repo.nagios.com/nagios/7/nagios ... noarch.rpm

I uninstalled ncpa but everytime I try to install ncpa the Version 8 keeps overriding the version 7 I need. How do I get rid of that from happening? Or is this even an issue?

Try the following:

Code: Select all

yum remove ncpa -y
yum remove nagios-repo.noarch -y
yum clean all
rpm -Uvh https://repo.nagios.com/nagios/7/nagios-repo-7-4.el7.noarch.rpm
yum clean all
yum install ncpa -y
