Thanks Andy! I'll give it a shot!

Yep.. Exactly.

 

macports installs into /opt/local instead of /usr/local, so you'll have
to just change the paths around.

 

 

The installer should also place a link to the launchd plist to have
launchd start it on bootup, but the plist is disabled by default, so if
you want to enable starting on bootup, edit:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.nrpe.plist  and remove:

<key>Disabled</key><true/>

 

 

Cheers!

I am assuming I will also need to 'port install nagios-plugins'. Once I
get those both installed, I should be able to follow the NRPE.pdf file
instructions as if I were installing on a linux server?

 

Thanks again!

 

Lucas

The easiest way is to install macports from http://www.macports.org/

 

and simply run "port install nrpe"

Nagios-Users,

 

Are there any definitive guides for monitoring a remote OSX 10.4 Server?

 

Ideally I'd like to do a minimum of configuration on the remote server
and looking at the guide located here:

 

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nrpe/NRPE.pdf

 

I'm not convinced this will work for installation on OSX.

 

Has anyone done this before? Are there any caveats or alterations to
these instructions necessary for this to work on OSX?

 

Thank you very much for any help you can provide,

 

Lucas
