ubuntu@nagios01:~$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.99.1.6 -c check_users
USERS OK - 1 users currently logged in |users=1;5;10;0

However, in Nagios the service status is 'WARNING' and the Status Information field is '(null)' for all my nrpe checks. Localhost checks, ping and SSH remote checks are fine but they don't use nrpe. The log file doesn't record anything for the nrpe checks.

	service_description	Load check NRPE
	check_command		check_load_nrpe
}

Can you please post the host object defintion for cogs.example.com.

define host {
	use			gstation-server
	host_name		cogs.example.com
	alias			Colorado PC01
	address			10.99.1.14
}

define host {
	name			gstation-server
	check_command		check-host-alive	
	check_interval		5
	retry_interval		1
	max_check_attempts	5
	check_period		24x7
	contact_groups		admins
	notification_interval	30
	notification_options	d,u,r
}

Is the address for cogs.example.com 10.99.1.6 ?
