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 ?

[dneuhaeuser]

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!

[dneuhaeuser]

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

Im using Check_mk, can it talk to this nrpe plugin?
