Nagios NRPE start failed

[LDorian]

Hello,

I have installed NRPE on a RHEL 7 server. When I try to start it, it failed.

Code: Select all

# systemctl status nrpe
● nrpe.service - Nagios Remote Plugin Executor
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/nrpe.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since Wed 2021-03-03 11:38:37 CET; 8min ago
     Docs: http://www.nagios.org/documentation
  Process: 1309 ExecStopPost=/bin/rm -f /usr/local/nagios/var/nrpe.pid (code=killed, signal=KILL)
  Process: 1307 ExecStart=/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -f (code=killed, signal=KILL)
 Main PID: 1307 (code=killed, signal=KILL)

It would be great if I can get help on this.

Thank you.

A few ideas...
rm -f /usr/local/nagios/var/nrpe.pid (code=killed, signal=KILL)
Check for syntax errors in /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg and files in the include directory.
See if nrpe is managed by xinetd. ls -l /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
systemctl restart nrpe
How was nrpe installed?
