@Pratik,

You must install Nagios-Plugins, NRPE, and Xinetd on a remote Linux host that you want to monitor under the Nagios server.

I got the following error while running the make all command.

# make all

./nrpe.c:287:9: warning: ‘ENGINE_load_builtin_engines’ is deprecated: 
Since OpenSSL 3.0 [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
  287 |         ENGINE_load_builtin_engines();
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I fixed it by using the latest version nrpe-4.1 from github:

$ wget https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nrpe/releases/download/nrpe-4.1.0/nrpe-4.1.0.tar.gz

I am getting an error that says:

“Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start nagios.service

Job for nagios.service failed because the control process exited with an error code. See “systemctl status nagios.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.”

In reply to Gautam Kumar. I am also getting:

make: *** No rule to make target `install-daemon-config'.  Stop.

What do we need to do to work around that?
