How can I install Winrpe silently ?
-
Winrpe can be installed silently by using the switches below:
(Pre-5.2.x) Winrpe_x.x.x_Installer.exe /u=user /p=password /S
where user/password specify the service account credentials
(5.2.x or later) Winrpe_x.x.x_Installer.exe /S
You can also specify a new installation directory by the /D switch:
Winrpe_x.x.x_Installer.exe ..... /D=C:\test\winrpe
How can I use Winrpe without SSL ?
-
You may be interested in using Winrpe without SSL as the NRPE communication flows through other secure channels like vpns or port forwarders.
- On the monitored host with Winrpe: Update file etc\xinetd.d\nrpe and add option -n to server_args parameter:
# default: on
# description: NRPE
service nrpe
{
type = UNLISTED
flags = REUSE
port = 5666
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = SvcXinet
server = /bin/nrpe
server_args = -n -c /nrpe.cfg --inetd
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
# only_from = <ipaddress1> <ipaddress2> ...
}- On the monitoring host: Add the option -n to your check_nrpe commands.
