Newby trying to get this to work #3

So Installed ConstructionKit 2.5, and zenNrpeComponent 2.1 on zenos 4.2.5

I've tested using nrpe_check and verified I can talk to the server.

The docs say - using standard GUI component management methods. The component properties specify the remote command plugin to be called. The "arglist" is a newline-delimited list of arguments to be passed to the remote NRPE daemon (assuming it is configured properly to receive them).

But I haven't figured out how to do this? Any help

1) Go to the Device Status Page of the server you want to add the check to (enter the device name in the search box at top right) 2) From the “+” drop-down menu at the bottom of the screen, select “Add Remote Nagios”, and enter the “command” and “alias”.

3) when the screen refreshes, select the “NRPE Components”, then the newly created component on the right 4) below that there is a drop-down menu, from which you can select “Details” 5) The “arglist” parameter can be set in the text box on that Details pane. From the page you are on, select “Graphs” -> “Details”
