Hi,
I rebooted a solaris server and nrpe did not start on its own. I was
able to resolve it by doing the following on solaris 10-
Add the following entry to /etc/inetd.conf:
nrpe stream tcp nowait nagios /usr/local/nagios/nrpe -c
/usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg --inetd
Then run the following command-
#inetconv -i /etc/inetd.conf
But "inetconv" command is not available in solaris 9 and 8. so nrpe is
not starting on those servers after a reboot.
My configuration on solaris 8 and 9 boxes is-
Add the following file "nrpe" under /etc/init.d -
#!/sbin/sh
#
# /etc/init.d/nagios startup script
#
case "$1" in
start)
[ -f /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg ] || exit 0
# start nagios
cd /usr/local/nagios
./nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg --daemon
;;
stop)
# stop nagios
echo "use ps to kill nrpe"
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
now open nrpe.cfg in /usr/local/nagios and add server ip address
allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1, 172.22.48.7
Start nrpe as daemon in solaris by issuing following command-
#/usr/local/nagios/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg --deamon
I tried starting nrpe with -inetd switch instead of as a daemon but the
process is not getting started.
Kindly help.
Regards,
Lalita
