Nagios Support Forum

One of our Nagios Customer wants to monitor linux/ windows servers. For security reasons, the servers cannot be provided with an internet connection.

But the NRPE agent installation fails with many dependencies & the nagios documentation suggests using yum.

Is there any method for installing agents into servers/ desktops with no internet connection. Is there any specific repository where we can download the list of packages required for the agent install.

The packages required to install the Linux agent are and their dependencies

Tried the said method of downloading & installing the packages & its dependencies. But the customer is not happy with the way each package & its dependency needs to be first found, then downloaded & then installed. It take huge time.

Do you know any other agent method for monitoring linux based servers with a simple installation, like the case of check_mk where just that agent with xinetd is sufficient for monitoring the linux server.

With XI another way would be to use NRDS which is included in XI.

You can find it under Admin-> NRDS Config Manager

There is a video explaining it here
