Mirrors of this repository:
The goal of this repository is to address some issues with upstream versions and Linux distributions' packaging for the Nagios plugin multiquery library (libnagios-plugin-mq) project which is available at:
- gitlab.com: project/readme, issues, wiki/documentation
- github.com: project/readme, wiki/documentation
NRPE has limitations on a size of plugin output in both the plugin (check_nrpe) and the server (nrpe).
This repository contains branches of different NRPE versions with fixes applied to address those limitations:
| Version | Tag with fixed source |
|---|---|
| 2.15 | release/2.15+largeperfdata+20230320+7818ada |
| 3.2.1 | release/3.2.1+largeperfdata+20230323+a1677e8 |
| 4.0.3 | release/4.0.3+largeperfdata+20230320+89c6778 |
| 4.1.0 | release/4.1.0+largeperfdata+20230320+a2875f2 |
Since some point in time some Linux distributions stopped enabling command args at configure time while packaging NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor) for security reasons.
Having command args enabled make it easier to install new checks for existing plugins since no additional NRPE command should be installed.
Security reasons may be reviewed and covered. To re-enable command args it is sufficient to add configure parameter --enable-command-args to debian/rules file of nagios-nrpe source package and rebuild it:
...
override_dh_auto_configure:
dh_auto_configure -- \
... \
--enable-command-args
...
This repository contains branches for Debian source packages of different NRPE versions with plugin output size limitation fixed and command arguments enabled:
| Upstream version | Debian source tag |
|---|---|
| 2.15 | debian/2.15+largeperfdata+20230320+7818ada-1 |
| 3.2.1 | debian/3.2.1+largeperfdata+20230323+a1677e8-1 |
| 4.0.3 | debian/4.0.3+largeperfdata+20230320+89c6778-1 |
| 4.1.0 | debian/4.1.0+largeperfdata+20230320+a2875f2-1 |
NRPE sources contain README.md with build instructions.
