Take a look at your NSClient++ configuration file, and make a change for allow_arguments to be turned on as this document suggests - https://docs.nsclient.org/howto/external_scripts.html

Code: Select all

[/settings/NRPE/server]
allow arguments=true

[/settings/external scripts]
allow arguments=true
