JNRPE Library

The JNRPE library is the heart of the whole JNRPE package. It allows to embed inside your application the JNRPE so that you will be able to answer to check_nrpe queries.

If you need an example, feel free to use the sources of the JNRPE Server: it is built on top of this library.

Compiling against jnrpe-lib

The easiest way to compile an application using jnrpe-lib is through the use of maven.

If you don't want to use maven, you have to manually download the dependencies.

Compiling using maven

Create the following directory structure:

  +- src/
       +- main/
           +- java/
  +- pom.xml

and put your sources under the 'java' directory.

Create a file called pom.xml in the same directory as 'src'. This are the jnrpe-lib data:

  • group-id : net.sf.jnrpe * artifact-id : jnrpe-lib

    Edit the pom.xml file according to the maven documentation and insert the following dependency:

    <dependency>
    <groupId>net.sf.jnrpe</groupId>
    <artifactId>jnrpe-lib</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.4</version>
</dependency>

    as soon as your project is complete, you can run: 

      mvn compile package

Custom compiling

If you don't use maven, than you are on your own and you will have to manually download jnrpe-lib and all its dependecies manually.
