The following link are some KB articles for troubleshooting NRPE issues. Thane a look at them to see if any of them helps you fix the issue.
https://support.nagios.com/kb/category.php?id=93

If the articles do not help, we would need to know the OS and release or the server that is running the NRPE agent.
Also, where did you get the NRPE installer from and when you installed it, did you add the IP address of the system that you running the check_nrpe plugin from?
Did you verify that the NRPE agent is running and that the firewall is allowing inbound port 5666 connections?

Please run these commands as root on the system running the NRPE agent and post the output here.

Code: Select all

netstat -anp |grep 5666
ps -ef |grep nrpe
iptables -L

Thanks
