Nagios Support Forum

The problem is that the nrpe.cfg has the correct settings but is not going to be seen on any system with an updated config. I have made and put -8 today which should show up in epel-testing. Please test this and let me know.

Problem is one that should have been caught earlier and the package never been pushed to stable. This is on me.

The /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg does not define the pid_file. It is left undefined and also points to the wrong place of /var/run/nrpe.pid

The systemd startup however needs the pid_file so that it can properly restart (and fix some other outstanding bugs). It wants it to be in /var/run/nrpe/nrpe.pid

The fix will be define the correct entry in /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg and restart nrpe. I will work on a fixed package and get it out as soon as possible.

Please lock the thread. Thank you so much for your help! We will wait for the 3.2.1-8 nrpe package to be pushed to main Fedora EPEL repo to further update our nrpe agents.
