Check out this post: Tech Tip: Monitoring VMware ESX 3.x, ESXi, vSphere 4 and vCenter Server It applies to esx5 systems (we use it for 4.x and 5.x vmware systems) Pay attention to the '--authfile= ' option. You'll want to use it to keep the username/password out of the actual command definition. It'...

Back on page 4: Sep 29 09:40:09 localhost nrpe[3414]: Host ::1 is not allowed to talk to us! Isn't that saying the ipv6 loopback address that isn't being allowed to connect? That was not in the only_from allowance was it, only ipv4 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.29? (ipv6 support was added to nrpe in 2.15 ...

You have the 'admins' contact group (contains itnetworksupport contact) defined in the 'generic-host' template used by the 6800SRETDB host. You have the the 'itdba' contact defined in the 'generic-service-dba' service template (that is also missing the register=0) that is included by the F drive ser...

I think it is a bad idea to use the multiple email addresses for a single contact like that; it just complicates things. As for the 2 service notifications, I'd really want to see a matching config to the nagios log. The last one you supplied that was complete enough didn't match up with the log sup...

When you set contact_groups null contacts itdba in the final service definition (NOT a template that is getting included with the 'use' line), what actual email addresses receive a mail? I ask because of this (I have moved the order some to make it clear) entry from the postfix log: Sep 17 08:42:09 ...

Are you able to see anything listening on tcp port 5666? nmap localhost or nmap 192.168.0.29 (should show you all the ports that are viewable) If you don't have nmap, on centos it comes out of the base repos: yum install nmap (this is slightly different than lsof - lsof would show what's being liste...

And if you installed from package/rpm/yum, which one did you install?
(my nrpe installed from EPEL ends up in /usr/sbin/nrpe)

Please post exact logs showing the multiple notifications and the corresponding configs without modifying them after the time the multiple notification occur. What you just posted has you putting a contact_groups null in the generic-service-dba template, not the generic-service-template template as ...
