[SOLVED] Install nagios-plugins

Xi0N · 2011-07-20 07:25:10

I want to install nagios-plugins in a headless server running arch linux so another server, the one currently monitoring, can monitor the first machine using the nrpe plugin.
After installing nagios-plugins from aur , i don't know what else to do.... because i did not install nagios core itself..... now, my question is: Do i have to install nagios itself as well and start is as daemon just to make use of one plugin? Or just installing nagios-plugins is enough?: In the last case, what else do I have to do?

Thanks!

Yes.

Configure /etc/nrpe/nrpe.cfg (it's well commented) and setup either xinetd to listen for 5666 connections, or add nrpe to your daemons array if you want to run it standalone.
