check_oracle -NRPE : Do we need to install oracle cleint on

Hi all

Is it mandatory to install a oracle cleint on nagios server to monitor a remote database using NRPE??
Please guide me…

I also would like to know that!!!

How you did?

No :slight_smile:
But you need sqlplus at least and you need to use the SID of the Host something like this:
user/password@host_ip:Port/HOST_SID
