NRPE package for 11.23 IA / 11.31 IA
This is an NRPE 2.12 package, which should work on most HP-UX 11.23 and 11.31 servers. It's linked against the stock TCP Wrappers and OpenSSL libraries and will install under /opt/nrpe.Download: NRPE-2.12.depot.gz
Once the package is installed, run the /opt/nrpe/bin/configure.sh script to set up your server. Check the hard coded values at the start of the script before running it to be sure it suits your needs. Interested in building it manually? See my build notes.
Logos
The F*Nagios Icon Pack has a nice HP-UX logo, it's better than the one I made two years ago. Grab it on www.monitoringexchange.org. Here is my original one if you just want a quickie:

Running a Nagios 3.x Server on HP-UX
I tried and while it can work, even though I'm a die-hard HP-UX admin I strongly suggest you use Linux instead.For those who insist on building Nagios on HP-UX, it's not for the faint of heart. I did not want to rely on the zillion librairies from the porting center, as upgrading one of them might break things. So I ended up compiling everything myself, putting everything under /opt/nagios. If that can be of any help, my build notes are here.
N.B: These notes are barely readable. Don't e-mail me about them. I don't have the time (nor the will) to reply to mails asking questions about these. If you don't know what you're doing, save yourself some time and run the nagios server on Linux instead.
One thing though, the check_ping plug-in does not work. I checked the source, and it relies precisely on the text output of the Linux ping and HP-UX's ping output differs. However, check_ping is required since Nagios will try to ping each monitored hosts. So I ended up writing a small, brainless check_ping shell script that seems to do the job on HP-UX.
