I updated today NRPE to v3 (yes, a bit late, I know) just to find out that this was a very bad idea.
Since the update, I get LOTS of log entries on my core server:
Code: Select all
Mar 8 14:54:04 nagios-server check_nrpe: Remote [client ip] accepted a Version 2 Packet
this works fine, though, but the real problem here is the amount of logging. EVERY connect now produces the above mentioned unnecessary information on the server. I have two problems with that: a) It can not be disabled without modifying the source code and recomile it, and b) it can not be ignored since my monitoring server is watching about 2000 different services on 200 different client machines.
According to https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... =7&t=41115 hacking source is the only option, but I don't think this is a wanted behaviour on the long run (I have some machines with binary distributions like suse or ubuntu, no way I'm compiling nrpe on them all manually).
Is there any chance that this is getting fixed? I don't think anyone needs these log entries - particularly not if one is not able to disable it...
