And maybe that is what > is causing my other issues. that's true and -dev stands there for a simple reason - do not use that git in production. it's being hacked around and when we feel it's ready for a release, we will do it from a seperated release branch - just like we do in the other icinga projects. until then, please use the old grown nrpe mentioned above. https://dev.icinga.org/projects/core-nrpe/roadmap > > For that matter, it links to packages if you do not want to do a > source install, but there are no packages at that location for NRPE. true. that change was intended in the mood of release icinga-nrpe soon enough. did not happen yet due to some patch reworkings with dualstacked ipv4 and ipv6 support (https://dev.icinga.org/issues/2102) for now, please refer doing some research on the repos yourself, such as # yum search nrpe # apt-cache search nrpe or head over to wiki.icinga.org - howtos and check for some shortcut install guides for debian or rhel. > > But in general I have been having good luck with sources and building > my own RPMs - already did that with Icinga and Nagios Plugins, and > even the GIT tarball of NRPE. Works well - well done! mh afaik the provided spec file is not yet uptodate in git. at least i've created an issue for that https://dev.icinga.org/issues/2071 repoforge uses a different one so this needs some love (like the newly introduced initscript). > > Anyway, I'm trying to get NRPE running on a single host so far.
