=== Koozali v9 ===

I used this as a guide when installing nrpe on v9. I had to do a few extra steps as follows:
 +
 +
Add the EPEL repo https://wiki.contribs.org/Epel
 +
 +
yum --enablerepo=epel install nrpe
 +
 +
Create new template:
 +
mcedit /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/hosts.allow/nrpe
 +
 +
Add the following and save:
 +
 +
{
 +
    $DB->hosts_allow_spec('nrpe');
 +
}
 +
 +
Create the DB entry:
 +
 +
config set nrpe service HostsAllow "127.0.0.1 NAGIOS_CENTRAL_SERVER_IP" status enabled
 +
 +
Expand the template:
 +
 +
expand-template /etc/hosts.allow
 +
 +
Add your Nagios server IP to /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg as above.
 +
 +
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nrpe restart
 +
 +
Make a softlink:
 +
 +
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service S92nrpe
 +
 +
Upgrade/reboot:
 +
 +
signal-event post-upgrade;signal-event reboot
