Yes, it's backwards compatible.

I compiled and installed the version of the agent you mentioned in Nagios and the target machine but still the issue persist.I also did a restart of XINETD after installing the new agent since i am running the agent under inetd.
Let me know if I have to perform any other stpes to make it work.

Can you run the following command on both, Nagios XI server, and the client machine (remote box), and show the output?
I tested NRPE Version: 2.16RC2, and it seemed to resolve the issue for me. I set up a simple command on the remote box:
and restarted xinetd:
On the Nagios XI box, I ran:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -c catafile -a '/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log' | wc -m
22518
Note: Before recompiling NRPE, with ver. 2.15, I was getting 1024 characters.
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -c catafile -a '/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log' | wc -m
1024

What are the commands that you ran while recompiling NRPE?
Can you show us the actual check (that is failing) run from the command line, along with the output of it?
Also, show us how the command is defined on the client.
Run:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe | grep -i version
on both - Nagios XI and the client, and show the output.

Can you please attempt to install the openssl-devel package and see if this helps?
