Configure nrpe service to listen through an interface

Post by cesarjorgemartinez »

Hi,

I'm new in this forum, and I do not know if this is the right place to ask these things.

Using nrpe in Linux, exist a nrpe config file: /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg
In this file exists a parameter called server_address, an IP to bind listen server.

Then, exists a possibility to configure by interface?

Ex:
listen_interface: eth1

(or another type of configuration)

Regard,
Cesar Jorge

Hello, @cesarjorgemartinez. As of right now, nrpe doesn't have this functionality. You may add a new feature request on the NRPE page:
