Nagios plugins

  • Nagios doesn't come by default with the NRPE functionality enabled.
    • Beware: although Nagios RPMs are distributed with Quattor, the NRPE RPMs are not.
  • On this page an incomplete list of plugins can be found together with some information.

Enable NRPE for Nagios

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug/files/nagiosplug/1.4.15/nagios-plugins-1.4.15.tar.gz
    • The nrpe tarball can be found here
wget http://waix.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nagios/nrpe-2.12.tar.gz
    • The ./configure might fail due to error: Cannot find ssl headers. This is solved by installing following rpm package
yum install openssl-devel

Some plugin scripts

  • The scripts performing the NRPE checks on the remote client are located in
/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins
  • For the raid checks additional Quattor templates were made nagios_plugins_check_hw_raid_hp and nagios_plugins_check_hw_raid.
    • The scripts were placed with filecopy but they have been added to the RPM as well, so the additional templates can be phased out
