一、简介
1、NRPE介绍
NRPE是Nagios的一个功能扩展,它可在远程Linux/Unix主机上执行插件程序。通过在远程服务器上安装NRPE插件及Nagios插件程序来向Nagios监控平台提供该服务器的本地情况,如CPU负载,内存使用,磁盘使用等。这里将Nagios监控端称为Nagios服务器端,而将远程被监控的主机称为Nagios客户端。
Nagios监控远程主机的方法有多种,其方式包括SNMP,NRPE,SSH,NCSA等。这里介绍其通过NRPE监控远程Linux主机的方式。
NRPE(Nagios Remote Plugin Executor)是用于在远端服务器上运行监测命令的守护进程,它用于让Nagios监控端基于安装的方式触发远端主机上的检测命令,并将检测结果返回给监控端。而其执行的开销远低于基于SSH的检测方式,而且检测过程不需要远程主机上的系统账号信息,其安全性也高于SSH的检测方式。

2、NRPE的工作原理
NRPE有两部分组成
check_nrpe插件:位于监控主机上
nrpe daemon:运行在远程主机上,通常是被监控端agent
注意:nrpe daemon需要Nagios-plugins插件的支持,否则daemon不能做任何监控

详细的介绍NRPE的工作原理
当Nagios需要监控某个远程Linux主机的服务或者资源情况时:
首先:Nagios会运行check_nrpe这个插件,告诉它要检查什么;
其次:check_nrpe插件会连接到远程的NRPE daemon,所用的方式是SSL;
然后:NRPE daemon 会运行相应的Nagios插件来执行检查;
最后:NRPE daemon 将检查的结果返回给check_nrpe 插件,插件将其递交给nagios做处理。
二、被监控端安装Nagios-plugins插件和NRPE
1、添加nagios用户
2、安装nagios-plugins,因为NRPE依赖此插件

有两种方式用于管理nrpe服务,nrpe有两种运行模式:

NRPE Plugin for Nagios
Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Ethan Galstad (nagios@nagios.org)
Version: 2.15
Last Modified: 09-06-2013
License: GPL v2 with exemptions (-l for more info)
SSL /TLS Available: Anonymous DH Mode, OpenSSL 0.9.6 or higher required
Usage: check_nrpe -H <host> [ -b <bindaddr> ] [-4] [-6] [-n] [-u] [-p <port>] [-t <timeout>] [-c < command >] [-a <arglist...>]
Options:
-n = Do no use SSL
-u = Make socket timeouts return an UNKNOWN state instead of CRITICAL
<host> = The address of the host running the NRPE daemon
<bindaddr> = bind to local address
-4 = user ipv4 only
-6 = user ipv6 only
[port] = The port on which the daemon is running (default=5666)
[timeout] = Number of seconds before connection times out (default=10)
[ command ] = The name of the command that the remote daemon should run
[arglist] = Optional arguments that should be passed to the command . Multiple
arguments should be separated by a space. If provided, this must be
the last option supplied on the command line.
Note:
This plugin requires that you have the NRPE daemon running on the remote host.
You must also have configured the daemon to associate a specific plugin command
with the [ command ] option you are specifying here. Upon receipt of the
[ command ] argument, the NRPE daemon will run the appropriate plugin command and
send the plugin output and return code back to *this* plugin. This allows you
to execute plugins on remote hosts and 'fake' the results to make Nagios think
the plugin is being run locally.

通过NRPE监控远程Linux主机要使用chech_nrpe插件进行,其语法格式如下:
check_nrpe -H <host> [-n] [-u] [-p <port>] [-t <timeout>] [-c < command >] [-a <arglist...>]

这里重点说下,Nagios服务端定义服务的命令完全是根据被监控端NRPE中内置的监控命令,如下图所示

1)首先点击【Hosts】查看监控主机状态是否为UP

2)其次点击【Services】查看各监控服务的状态是否为OK
注意:在监控新添加的主机linhost;出现状态为CRITICAL,提示没有那个文件或目录。下面是解决办法

在监控Linhost主机时出现一个CRITICAL的警告,查找解决办法

更新一个监控httpd服务的错误
今天在看日志的时候,在nginx的错误日志中发现很多一样的错误日志,起初是因为其它php程序的bug呢,后来跟开发人员讨论,排除了这个问题,于是就到Google上搜索,才知道原来是监控上配置文件的问题?
