Hi, The installation of nrpe on most Unices is pretty easy and outlined in the README of the source code tarball. Once the nrpe is installed or binraies downloaded from <a href="http://www.bennyvision.com/projects/nagios/index.php" target="_blank">http://www.bennyvision.com/projects/nagios/index.php</a> or nagiosexchange site, you need to follow these things The common way is to have nrpe started by inetd. Add a line like this to your service: # grep nrpe /etc/services nrpe 5666/tcp # Nagios Remote Plug-in Executor Then configure your inetd similar to this. Make sure that the paths to the nrpe binary and nrpe.cfg file are correct and make a choice under what user nrpe should be run. # grep nrpe /etc/inetd.conf nrpe stream tcp nowait nagios /usr/local/nagios/libexec/nrpe nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/libexec/nrpe.cfg -i If all looks correct make inetd reload its conf. # /usr/sbin/inetd -c and check that it registered the new service # tail /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log # netstat -an -f inet|grep LISTEN|grep 5666 The most configuration part involves adapting nrpe.cfg to your needs and checks that work on hpux. You can start trying with some of the more common ones like $ /opt/iexpress/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1 -c check_total_procs PROCS CRITICAL: 369 processes hope this helps -Shankar <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 5, 2009 at 10:43 PM, Christian Iñiguez <<a href="mailto:challenger_joseph@yahoo.com.mx">challenger_joseph@yahoo.com.mx</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi All! I have 2 machines with Unix HP UX, and I'd like to monitoring them installing nrpe, but I haven't found documentation or how to's about it. On Linux plataform is working very well, but it's a kind of difficult to do it on UNIX (HP UX) Does any body know how can perform this? Thanks in advance ¡Todo sobre Amor y Sexo!
