Issues with ModGearman worker script

[dshearon]

I am working my way through the ModGearman installation docs and ran into an issue when trying to install it on the worker. I received the error message below, the script ran fine on the XI server install. Any ideas?

ERROR
Invalid distribution: . Note: DEB-based distributions are no longer supported by this script.

HI,

Unfortunately, there are some compatibility issues on Debian/Ubuntu and mod-gearman packages provided by our installer supports Cent / RHEL right now.

Mod Gearman is supported on the following distributions:
• CentOS/ RHEL/OracleLinux 7+

Integrating Mod-Gearman With Nagios XI

Let me know if you have further questions.

Best Regards,

The error message was received on a CentOS 8 server. The script ran fine on the same OS for the server install portion. I assumed the worker install would work as well, are we currently limited to CentOS 7 if we want to use ModGearman?

Hi,

We've been able to replicate this issue. I'm working with QA on this right now and filing a bug report to get it fixed. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

It seems like you found a bug with the MG worker script. Try the following:

1. Make sure that the nagios repo is installed. If it's not, you can install it by running:

Code: Select all

rpm -Uvh https://repo.nagios.com/nagios/8/nagios-repo-8-1.el8.noarch.rpm

2. Open the ModGearmanInstall.sh script in a text editor, e.g. vi, go to line 155, and change it from this:

Code: Select all

if rpm -q centos-release; then

to this:

Code: Select all

if rpm -q centos-release || rpm -q centos-linux-release; then

Save and exit.

3. Run the script:

Code: Select all

./ModGearmanInstall.sh --type=worker

Let us know if this helped.

That appears to have done the trick. Thank you for the help.
