I have run nrpe through xinetd and it's working perfectly, But i got below error message in /var/log/messages very frequently. Please help me to sort out this issue.
@rlinux57, There was an issue with IPv6 addresses not resolving correctly on the NRPE v2.x. This issue was fixed in the nrpe v3.0 release. https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nrpe/issues/31
So upgrading the client agent should fix the issue.
But also, you can try editing the check_nrpe command on the XI server by adding the -4 flag to force ipv4 connections.
@rlinux57, This depends on how the NRPE agent was installed. If it was a source install I recommend uninstalling the old agent and reinstalling the new one: https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... e-741.html https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=515
Make a backup copy of the /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg file somewhere on the server. That way you won't have to define commands again after you install the new agent. (You can copy-paste them from the old file)
