The configuration of the hosts is in the directory /etc/nagios3/
Then I upgraded nagios to version 4.3.2 and the configuration files of this version 4.3.2 are in the /usr/local/nagios/
but nagios continues to use the old configuration (/etc/nagios3/ not /usr/local/nagios/)
Do you understand my question?
Do you know specifically which repository Nagios Core was initially installed from? That would be massively helpful in understanding potentially what went wrong. I will say this if this is a repository installation and you updated Nagios Core manually, rather than by using your system's package manager (apt, yum, zypper, etc) that will likely cause problems down the road if/when the repository updates their
nagios3 package.
There is a very large difference in installing Nagios Core by hand, and installing it via a package. Same goes for any Linux software; You might be able to "upgrade" a PHP version on your machine by hand, but if it was first installed with a package (and not appropriately removed first) then your system's package manager is going to try and "update" the software when the time comes.

Nagios-nrpe-plugin can I install from repositories?
Does nrpe not install in version 4.3?

After installation I have to add the following *check_nrpe* definition in “commands.cfg” file?
And in the commands.cfg file I have to add all the parameters?
In the previous version, I had in /etc/nagios-plugins/ and each command in a separate file

The check_nrpe plugin is a separate install and dependng on whare you downloaded Nagios Core 4.3.2, it may not be included with the Core install.
Yes, after you install the check_nrpe plugin, you would have to add the command to the commands.cfg. I have included an example for your reference.
Code: Select all
define command {
command_name check_nrpe
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}
