Hello ravish, please take a look at the following document, it outlines the most common errors you will see with NRPE and how to best resolve them:

Most probably, you haven't added 127.0.0.1 to "/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe" file:

Code: Select all

only_from       = 127.0.0.1

After you add it, restart the daemon:

Code: Select all

service xinetd restart

and try your check again.

Why do you want to run check_nrpe against localhost anyway?

Issue was solved .You can close this.

Problem is with /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg file.

Some unknown characters we re added.Removing them and restrating worked
