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

      - pfSense Gold Subscriber -

      Sense 1: Shuttle DS57U3 (private)
      Sense 2: Supermicro Atom Barebone (Company Test)
      Sense 3 : 2 x Supermicro SYS-5018D-FN8T (Company Office)

        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 :)

                          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-RELEASE

                            after 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.

                                  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
