Did you check the post by ssax above about nrpe being installed?

Hello,
On the remote server, it doesn't find me anything
It doesn't look like the NRPE service is installed and running properly on the remote hosts. If the following command does not return anything,
then I would try to re-install the agent. Take a snapshot or backup before making any changes.

I just found on the remote server (the one who gives me trouble) that in /etc/nagios there is this file called nrpe.cfg.rpmsave
Is it the file that we were looking for? Should i rename it to nrpe.cfg ? I'm not the one who set up this server so I don't know why the .rpmsave at the end of the file

Hi smeyichou!
Do you know if you installed nrpe on your client machine from an RPM or some other way?
What do you get if you do "rpm -qa | grep nrpe"?

Hi !
This command gives me nothing, and i tried it on both servers.
For information, it's for a private company, so i know they install their software via proprietary packages, so maybe that's why.

For your information, from the main server, when i try to connect to the remote server giving me trouble with this command :
it gives me this
Code: Select all
PORT STATE SERVICE
5666/tcp closed nrpe
Could it be because the
nrpe.cfg file on the remote server is called
nrpe.cfg.rpmsave that i face this problem?
