NRPE in pfsense 2.3
-
Hi guys… i'm on the same boat, no NRPE no check_mk , now my pfsense boxes are nagios hostile.
Having lived without munin support, now I cannot live without neither nagios nor munin
So I have halted 2.3 upgrade
Hope some devels could enhace monitoring capabilities of pfsense by adding some of this packages...
Kind regards.

I have the same problem.
Right now pfSense does not offer any sane monitoring method.As far as I understand there is no support for nrpe, check_mk oder snmpv3.
Zabbix is not open source as far as I can tell.
What other possibilities do exist?
-
Same here. Holding off update to 2.3 since Nagios checks are crucial in our environment. I try not to manually install any extras or packages that are not included since updating later on may brake any manual changes.
I hope someone, if not the original creator, will continue to develope NRPE further. It's been almost 3 years since last update.

Would also throw some coins in for a working NRPE package.

pfSense 2.3-RELEASE is FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE
NRPE is quite old, but simple (and still working agent) package, is there a pfSense-way to install package from FreeBSD packet?
other way is; create own special package to pfSense…
I have also several small firewalls with pfSense 2.2.6 + NRPE connected to nagios...
Which way tooks longest future?
-
We also need this. Does anyone think that this is going to be addressed? We really like 2.3 but we have to stop deployment because of this/lack of.
-
It looks like it is being work on.
There is a pull request in the pfsense/FreeBSD-ports github with a bootstrapped package.

Hi
we ported the nrpe package a few weeks ago.
It is waiting to get pulled in the pfsense repo.I will talk to to the pfsense developers next week about it.
@djzort thanks for the encouragement :)

It's available in the package list now. Thanks to Sven for getting that back.
-
I don't see it in available packages yet…
pfSense 2.3.1
any action required to see it ?
-
correction:
I was sure I had done the update from 2.3_1 to 2.3.1
but then I discovered it was still showing 2.3-RELEASEafter doing the firmware update to 2.3.1 again, now nrpe package is showing!
thx! -
got it working - thanks for the package!
but there is one problem:
the input fields for the commands are too small to read them!see attached screenshot.
-
Hi,
you are right.
I will make them larger on the next update for the package.Best

thats terrific.
unfortunately, when upgrading from 2.2 to 2.3, pfsene doesnt realise that "NRPE v2" == "NRPE". even though when subsequently manually installed, the old config is discovered AOK
-
Im using Check_mk, can it talk to this nrpe plugin?
