Amazon Linux 2 Support

[christrumid]

Currently installation on Amazon Linux 2 fails saying Amazon Linux is not supported. It works find on Amazon Linux (first version). We are going to upgrade but need monitoring to work before we do so.

How are you installing it?

Please use either Red Hat, CentOS, Oracle Linux, CloudLinux, SUSE Enterprise, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, or Debian.

OK great this is a custom build that is provided for Nagios XI, which they could update to support Amazon Linux 2.

However you should still be able to compile it from source on Amazon Linux using the RHEL instructions: https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=515#RHEL

The following has worked for me on Amazon Linux 2:

1. Add "Amazon" as an approved OS by editing the NRPE agent "fullinstall" file. For example, I added it to the CentOS/RedHat line like this: if [ "$distro" == "CentOS" ] || [ "$distro" == "RedHatEnterpriseServer" ] || [ "$distro" == "Amazon" ]; then

2. Install the EPEL repo: yum install -y https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

3. Install the following packages: yum install -y gcc glibc glibc-common openssl openssl-devel perl wget patch xinetd

4. Run the NRPE agent install script: ./fullinstall

That has worked for me on several Amazon Linux 2 instances.
