Anyone know if this is a bug or of a workaround? I gather you're running NRPE on this CentOS 7 server, and executing the check from your Nagios Core machine (on the Debian 10 server) by leveraging the check_nrpe plugin?

Plugin compatibility issues are pretty common to encounter with major OS upgrades. If you have any plugins that weren't installed via repositories configured in the OS's package manager, assume they're going to break when you do a major OS upgrade. If you're using the official nagios-plugins suite, ...
