Just finished installing Rocky 8.4 GA release in a V Box and I managed to install and configure Nagios 4.4.6 and Zabbix 5.0 . Everything is working properly. ---

Nice to know, might have to try Zabbix sometime. I personally use CheckMK, with the appropriate check-mk-agent for monitoring. There’s a ton of plugins as well for additional application monitoring. It can also use Nagios plugins if a native CheckMK one isn’t available. I tested CheckMK 2.0.0p6 with Rocky, installs fine and works good so far. ---

Thank you iwalker for your information. I never heard of CheckMK but I will try. ---

We had some people interested in running OpenNMS on Rocky Linux as well and we got positive feedback that OpenNMS Horizon 28+ with the [RHEL/CentOS instructions](https://docs.opennms.com/horizon/28.0.0/deployment/core/getting-started.html) work without any issues. ---

This is good to hear. My shop is currently using Xymon for monitoring (and I can confirm that the `xymon-client` [from Terabithia](https://terabithia.org/rpms/xymon/el8/x86_64/) installs beautifully on Rocky), but we’ve been waiting for Rocky GA to begin exploring a transition to Zabbix. Glad to know @beniksh has already gotten to this, and it’s proven to work as expected! ---

Did anyone successefully installed nagios agent on rocky? I get the message “Rocky is not currently supported. Please use either Red Hat, CentOS, Oracle Linux, CloudLinux, SUSE Enterprise, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, or Debian.” I am downloading officiall NRPE agent from [https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/agents/linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz](https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/agents/linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz) ---

Hello, Did you try from Epel repository? From there seems to be ok. All the best. ---

Tried epel but then realised that I would have to do a lot of workarounds to get this working with my remote nagios server because i found errors like this when executing nrpe check from remote: _[pid 55280] execve("/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check\_cpu\_stats.sh", ["/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check\_cpu\_stats.sh", “-w”, “85”, “-c”, “95”], 0x562f93bdb730 / 11 vars /) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)_ , so i finally took official NRPE agent and added support for Rocky linux. Now it works like a charm… Thanks anyway. ---

Since we’re talking about monitoring tools, `collectd` from EPEL works just fine, as expected. I have it configured to report into influxdb on a central server, with grafana reporting. Instead of being a monolith rpm the different plugins are in different packages; eg collectd-disk is needed for the “disk” plugin. ---

I use collectd from `centos-release-opstools`. ---

Download official nrpe agent install from link in original post, unpack the tar file and then position yoursel in directory linux-nrpe-agent add issue a command: sed -i ‘s/centos/rocky/gI’ \* This will remove tne CentOS support but you will be able to install the agent on your RockyLinux. Alternativly you can manualy go through files get-os-info, 0-repos, 1-prereqs and 4-firewall and add lines to support RockyLinux by copying the lines for CentOS or RHEL. ---
