For Redhat 5.4 or CentOS 5.4
can just add rpmforge repository ..
then do the following to the monitoring host.
yum install nagios-nrpe nagios-nrpe-plugins -y |
which pretty much covered in previous post regarding nagios installation.
only need to ammend the file at
vi /etc/nagios/objects/commands.cfg |
to add the following..
# 'check_nrpe' command definition
define command{
command_name check_nrpe
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$
} |
and for each remote server that you want to monitor.
Need to add some package into it.
yum install nagios-nrpe -y |
edit the /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg
find the line started with allowed_hosts,
append the monitoring server ip accordingly .. so that it can access to the remote host with SSL successfully.
allowed_hosts=192.168.19.31 |
you can also changed the following code
to suit your need.
# The following examples use hardcoded command arguments... command[check_users]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_users -w 5 -c 10 command[check_load]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20 command[check_hda1]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p /dev/hda1 command[check_logvol00]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol00 command[check_zombie_procs]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 5 -c 10 -s Z command[check_total_procs]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 450 -c 500 command[check_swap]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_swap -w 20 -c 10 |
then just need to start it.
/etc/init.d/nrpe start chkconfig nrpe on |
then can test.. with something like this
from the monitoring server.
/usr/lib64/check_nrpe -H 192.168.19.203 check_load /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 192.168.19.216 -c "check_total_procs" |
oh well..
that’s pretty much of it.
then can have something like this at the end..
p/s : .. there might more underneath feature that can be added..
let’s see if someone can come up with enough time to play with it.. 😎
Hey! Thanks for this! Great walkthrough.
I just downloaded and played with this myself
for the first time, and i enjoy getting directions
for stuff to look at.
Another alternative to the two part USB files:
in the readthisfirst file, there is a list of mirrors
to the ISO worldwide.
Also: i did the wget app download (you might
want to “blank out” the first failed attempt)
Question: where is the “app store” for
Android stuff? is it an app? is it like Cydia
for jailbroke iphones?
I want to walk around in the softs a bit.
thanks!

Uncle Foobar : ok.. had ‘blank out’ the first failed attempt on the app installation due to typo error of the app url..
App store for Google Android is available at http://www.android.com/market/
however.. it may not available at your mobile due to some TELCO / countries restriction..
please check the local Android user community..
or just go to http://developer.android.com/community/
😎
App Store is not open-sourced, hence not in these kind of builds. You need to have some agreement with google to distribute it on your “phones”.
You can browse what’s available in the market through the following hack http://www.cyrket.com from the same guy who brought you cydia on the iphone.
Having said that … those who have rooted android phones … can probably download an app from the market and “share” it with you …
