NRPE, Icinga2, installing normal BSD pkgs

[avp]

I used to use the NRPE plugin but it hasn't been updated for 2.3.  No problem.  I figure I will start using Icinga2 anyway.  No Icinga2 pkg.  No problem, I can install the normal bsd Icinga pkg, right?

Well, I can't quite figure out how to do this.

I tried:

pkg install icinga2

that didn't work.

I tried:

cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/icinga2/ && make install clean

but /usr/ports doesn't exist.

I'm guessing there should be a way to do this?

Thanks…

I need the NRPE package too…
Can I install http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:32/latest/All/nrpe-2.15_6.txz ?

heper's answer is exactly what I was looking for; I just haven't actually tried it yet.  Fighting with a few other pfs issues before I try Icinga…

But based on my (somewhat limited) understanding, you should be able to install the pkg you're suggesting and it should work.

Please report back your findings.

Looking for NRPE for 2.3 as well.  Please update us with any successes/failures on the manual installation.  Thanks.

As noted above, download the nrpe package from:
http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/latest/All/
There are a few dependencies so you'll need to install libgd and nagios-plugins as well.

Once installed I put:
nrpe2_enable="YES"
in /etc/rc.conf as directed.

Then following the help on here:
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Executing_commands_at_boot_time
I added the following line:
<shellcmd>/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nrpe2 start</shellcmd>
just above the tag in /cf/conf/config.xml

That did it for me, nrpe starts at boot.

bwdutton, I will try tonight and post the results.. Tks!

The solution described by bwdutton worked fine for me.

One remark: I had to install the nrpe-ssl package instead of the nrpe-2 package for our setup.

In case you get the following message when trying to start NRPE

ELF interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 not found, error 8

Install the 64-bit packages from http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/latest/All/

Is there a way to install all dependencies with one command or do I have install one by one?
