NRPE++

NRPE++ is a C++ implementation of NRPE.

The software is in pre-alpha version and, thus supporting NRPE protocol version 2, 3 and 4, it currently just return an Hello World message to any received query.

Compile the sources

Linux Ubuntu 19

1. Install the dependencies:

   sudo apt-get install libasio-dev libboost-system-dev

2. Check-out the source code

   git clone https://github.com/ziccardi/nrpe_plus.git
   cd nrpe_plus

3. Run the compilation

   1. ./configure
   2. make

4. Compiled file named nrpe++ will be created into the src folder.

CentOS 7

CentOS 7 is shipped with a very old version of boost that is not supported by NRPE++, so we will have to install boost from the sources.

Installing BOOST

1. mkdir boost && cd boost
2. wget https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.72.0/source/boost_1_72_0.tar.gz
3. tar xvfz boost_1_72_0.tar.gz && cd boost_1_72_0
4. sudo ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local/boost
5. sudo ./b2 install
6. Cross your fingers and wait

Compiling NRPE++

1. Check-out the source code

   git clone https://github.com/ziccardi/nrpe_plus.git
   cd nrpe_plus

2. CPPFLAGS="-std=c++11 -I /usr/local/boost/include/" ./configure
3. make
4. Compiled file named nrpe++ will be created into the src folder.

NOTE We need to specify the CPPFLAGS because CentOS ships with a very old gcc compiler.

MacOS

Prerequisites: you need to have brew up and running to follow this instructions.

1. Install boost

   brew install boost

2. Check-out the source code

   git clone https://github.com/ziccardi/nrpe_plus.git
   cd nrpe_plus

3. Run the compilation

   1. ./configure
   2. make

4. Compiled file named nrpe++ will be created into the src folder.

Enjoy!
