NRPE version 2.14

[FrontlineIT]

Hello, we currently have a few older centos machines that are still running NRPE agent ver 2.14. We looked into upgrading them the agent, but ran into issues. My question, what is the latest version of Nagios we can run with NRPE agent ver 2.14?

The version of check_nrpe that ships with the latest Nagios XI (5.8.3) should still work provided you throw on a "-2" into the arguments list.

What happens if you load up a server with the latest Nagios XI, temporarily whitelist (in nrpe.cfg under allowed_hosts) the IP on one of the older centos machines and try the following command?

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -2 -H <IP of centos machine>

If that prints the NRPE version number then you should be able to get this working in the latest Nagios XI.

Thank you for the reply. We havent loaded up the newest Nagios version as of yet. We plan to do this next week. But will try and temporarily whitelist (in nrpe.cfg under allowed_hosts) the IP on one of the older centos machines and try the following command. We'll get back as soon as its done.

The guide above references NRPE v3 but it's the same for the latest (NRPE v4).
