Hello @grayloglearn,

No, the plugin output codes to indicate status haven't changed are quite simple. However, for agents I would recommend keeping them current or at the same version. For example, for major or minor upgrades of NRPE, then upgrade the check_nrpe plugin on the Nagios Server as well. However, keeping your Nagios XI server update to date will be sufficient.

See: NRPE - v3 Compatibility With Previous Versions

Let me know if that answers your question or not.
