Nagios Support Forum

We are trying to install ncpa on Solaris 10 operating system.

We started with an error that was very common and seen on a lot of other forum posts stating that the nagios user and group could not be created. After some troubleshooting, I am now stuck with this error message when trying to install NCPA:

Hi Antdis,

Is the system x86 or sparc ? Also which version of NCPA are you attempting to install (2.2.2) ?

Thanks in advance,
Keith

It is Solaris 10 x86 and I've tried version 2.3.1

Hi Antdis,

Thank you for your patience. Unfortunately Solaris 10 is officially end of life and we no longer support NCPA on this platform. That being said if you have an SNMP stack installed on the system you could use SNMP for monitoring this and other Solaris 10 systems in your environment. If you need to have an agent installed on the system you can build either the NCPA or NRPE from source code.
