Linux Mint 17

Hey this isn't Nagios Core ... but I do testing from my Linux Mint box so I have recorded the steps here.

Installing NRPE from GitHub gives you the latest version available.

Clone NRPE From GitHub

  • Type cd /tmp and press Enter
  • Type git clone --recursive https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nrpe.git and press Enter
  • Wait while all of these files are downloaded


Install check_nrpe plugin

  • Type cd nrpe and press Enter
  • Type sudo apt-get install libssl-dev and press Enter
  • Wait for the files to download and install
  • Type sudo ./configure --with-ssl=/usr/bin/openssl --with-ssl-lib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and press Enter
  • Wait for the configure command to complete
  • Type sudo make all and press Enter
  • Wait for the make all command to complete
  • Type sudo make install and press Enter
  • Wait for the make install command to complete

The check_nrpe plugin is now installed in /usr/local/nagios/libexec/
