Run through the steps listed in section three of this doc:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... utions.pdf

*Although the doc is for Nagios XI, this will still apply to Nagios Core*

Retest, and let us know the results, thanks.

Can you login as root to your server, run the following commands and post the output?

Code: Select all

ps -ef
netstat -an |grep 5666
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe
What version of Ubuntu are you running?
Are you running the NRPE agent as a daemon or under xinetd?
Is the firewall allowing inbound port 5666?
