The wizards in Nagios XI make for an easy use of this, but we do not have an 'easy' way to do so with Core. You'd want to compile it on the host machine, and also the client machine, and then define a command for check_nrpe to use on the Core system.

From there, it's just executing with ./check_nrpe -H <ip.here> -c <yourcommand> -a <args>

This document serves as a good guide for installing - https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.p ... ategory=22

Just checking in since we have not heard from you in a while. Did @rkennedy's post clear things up or has the issue otherwise been resolved?
