What Operating system and release is the NRPE agent running on?
Have you looked at the /var/log/messages log file for any errors after you try to start the agent?

Can you get the following file from that server and post it here?

Code: Select all

/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg

Also, run this as root ant post the output here.

Code: Select all

/usr/sbin/nrpe -c /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg -f

This error

May 10 12:36:03 onkar-pc systemd[26653]: nagios-nrpe-server.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning /usr/sbin/nrpe: No such file or directory

Suggests that the NRPE application is not installed on the server anymore.
Does the file /usr/sbin/nrpe exist on the system?
