Patrick,
While convenient in this case, it defeats the purpose of Debian's
extensive package management tools; it just isn't maintainable with
respect to scaling. However, it is interesting to note that
nagios-statd works with Nagios2. On my Debian boxes - and, according to
packages.debian.org - it basically boils down to this:
nagios-statd-client: Depends: nagios
I'm sure there is good reason for this dependency, though I've not taken
a look at the package with enough scrutiny to know why. I also notice,
however, that development in the nagios-statd vein seems to have stopped
in 2004?
http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/nagios-statd.html
So, that's where my assumption of NRPE succeeding it came from... but I
may be incorrect in that assumption. I guess I'll have to continue
researching....
Thanks for your response, and any other advice is most certainly welcome.
Best Regards,
Ryan

Nagios-stat is just a single Python script. If your package is
insisting on installing Nagios, you can just grab that single script and
drop it in place on your new servers.

Subject: [Nagios-users] A question regarding
nagios-statd-{client,server} and NRPE
Just as a small preamble, I'm running Debian.
I've recently acquired some new machines, and I'm upgrading
them all to Nagios2.5. I've noticed that in the old Nagios
configs, there are references to commands that call
/usr/bin/nagios-stat (for example,
check_disk_statd: /usr/bin/nagios-stat -d $ARG1$ disk
$HOSTADDRESS$).
From what I've been able to ascertain, this binary utility
shipped with nagios-statd-client. However,
nagios-statd-client depends on the "nagios" package. Since I
have nagios2 installed and not nagios, I cannot install
nagios-statd-client as the dependencies aren't met.
I did, however, see that there is a plugin called NRPE, which
doesn't depend on nagios2...and I'm thinking this might be
what I need. So, I guess my question is, "What package(s)
is/are meant to replace nagios-statd-client for nagios2?"
I'm doing my best to seamlessly transition, but I need the
check commands that rely on the binaries that seem to be
associated with nagios-statd-client. Any advice/suggestions?
Thanks alot in advance,
