Re: CHECK_NRPE: Receive header underflow - only -1 bytes received (4 expected

This is fixed by adding define command { command_name check_nrpe_v2 command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ -t 50 } in /etc/nagios/objects/commands.cfg file and creating new cfg files in /etc/nagios/objects for upgraded vms and adding these new config files in /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg
