OpsviewAgent

Installing the OpsView NRPE Agent on an Ubuntu system:

  • Add the repository to /etc/apt/sources.list:
  • Import the OpsView GPG keys for verifying downloads (be patient, the keyserver may be slow):
    sudo gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key 327C70CD0FC6984B
    sudo gpg --export --armor 327C70CD0FC6984B | sudo apt-key add -
  • Updated the apt cache:
    sudo apt-get update
  • Install the agent:
    sudo apt-get install opsview-agent
  • The OpsView agent uses port 5666. Be sure to open that to the OpsView monitoring server.
