Hi,
I have setup nagios xi 2012 r.1.
i have installed nrpe agent on a centos machine.
when i am trying to monitor that centos machine then i am getting error:
NRPE: Command 'CheckDriveSize' not defined
NRPE: Command 'checkCPU' not defined
NRPE: Command 'checkMem' not defined
i have checked nrpe command from command line:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 172.30.54.29 -p 5666 -c CheckDriveSize -a CheckAllOthers MinWarn=20G MinCrit=10G Volume=System Reserved
then also same error

on the client machine open the NSC.ini and uncomment these lines
Code: Select all
FileLogger.dll
CheckSystem.dll
CheckDisk.dll
CheckEventLog.dll
CheckHelpers.dll
CheckExternalScripts.dll
Then restart the NSClient service

Use the following:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -c check_disk -a '-w 20% -c 10%'
the xxx's being filled by the target IP address.
checkDriveSize is the alias for a NSClient++ check for windows NRPE monitoring, those will not be the same for a linux agent.
For memory:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -c check_mem -a '-w 20 -c 10'
Etc..

These are the machine load, over the last 1, 5, 15 minutes

Use the previous plugin.
You can also use check_cpu_stats to monitor CPU load and warn on high IO Wait %

G'day Guys,
I had the same problem when:
1. Ran "Monitoring Wizard"
2. Selected "Monitor a remote Linux/Unix server using NRPE."
if however I:
1. Ran "Monitoring Wizard"
2. Selected "Monitor a remote Linux server".
I didn't have the problem.

Correct. There is a generic linux wizard, which should be used for new monitoring situations. The NRPE wizard is in place for people with existing Nagios Core installations and are migrating over to XI.
