1 Is there any easy documentation how to configure nagios on Gentoo to monitor remote host?
2 The documntation below is out of date:
3 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nagios-guide.xml
4
5 I have emerged "nrpe" and started on both server and client, is it correct?
6
7 On the server I have created directory:
8 /etc/nagios/objects
9 does this directory have to have ownership "nagios:nagios" ?
10
11 Inside this directory I have have created files:
12
13 nrpe-command.cfg
14 define command {
15 command_name check_nrpe
16 command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$
17 }
18
19 nrpe-hosts.cfg
20 define host {
21 use linux-server
22 host_name clinic-atom
23 alias Gentoo Linux Web Server
24 address 192.168.141.1
25 }
26
27 nrpe-services.cfg
28 define service {
29 use generic-service
30 host_name clinic-atom
31 service_description Current Load
32 check_command check_nrpe!check_load
33 }
34
35 define service {
36 use generic-service
37 host_name clinic-atom
38 service_description Root Partition
39 check_command check_nrpe!check_disk
40 }
41
42 On the client I just emerge nrpe and started it. Why isn't it working?
