[Nagiosplug-devel] Installation of NRPE and Plugins on IBM AIX

[subash.rajan at wipro.com]

Hi Ton,
 
Thanks for your immediate response!!!
 
As per you I have downloaded the "nagios-plugins-1.4.0-alpha3"  and
"nrpe-2.0" from the nagios site and installed it on the IBM AIX 5.2.0.0
server. The compilation was successful.
 
After the compilation I verified that nrpe daemon is running and the
port is active on the AIX server.
 
I tried to run the "check_nrpe" from the Linux server which is our
Nagios server. The following was the result.
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
[root at NagiosServer libexec]# ./check_nrpe -H AIXSERVER -c check_users

CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon.  Check the remote server logs
for error messages.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 
I checked the syslog in AIX SERVER.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------
aixserver: /var/log>grep nrpe syslog
 
Dec 22 13:21:58 ukcsqply nrpe[17228]: connect from nagiosserver
Dec 22 13:22:11 ukcsqply nrpe[17230]: connect from nagiosserver
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
I found that the nrpe daemon running on the AIX server is not sending
the results to the  check_nrpe request from Nagios server.
 
The entry for nrpe in inetd.conf is as follows.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------
aixserver: /etc>grep nrpe inetd.conf

nrpe    stream  tcp    nowait  nagios /usr/local/bin/tcpd
/usr/local/nagios/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/nrpe.cfg --inetd
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
 
Please suggest the solution for this problem. I would be glad to provide
you with more details if you need.
 
Thanks and Regards,
Subash Rajan.

	Subash, 

	We are not maintaining release 1.3.1 much any more. Please try
the 1.4alpha2 release - there have been reports of successful compiles
on AIX.

		Hi, 
		With related to the above subject I have few queries for
which I need your suggestions. 
		We are using Nagios Verion 1.2 for Monitoring servers
running Windows NT, Windows 2003 and Linux Operating Systems. 
		Additionally we are monitoring network devices which are
Wireless Access Points and Switches. 
		We would like to include few Unix Servers running IBM
AIX for monitoring. 
		The Maintenance Level of the AIX OS is 5.2.0.0. 
		We have downloaded the nrpe-2.0 and Nagios-Plugins-1.3.1
from Nagios site and installed on the AIX system. 
		We could successfully install and compile NRPE, started
the daemon and verified that nagios server is able to communicate to the
port 5666 of the AIX server. 
		But we have problem in installing and compiling
Nagios-Plugins. I have attached the error output while compiling
plugins. 
		The files attached are the outputs for the commands
'./configure' 'make all' and 'make install' from the directory 
		/usr/local/nagios/nagios-plugins-1.3.1/plugins. 
		Requesting you to investigate the problem and provide
your feedback. 
		Awaiting yout response, 
		Thanks and Regards, 
		Subash Rajan.
