In the GUI Configuration -> Select Commands
What does it say by check_nrpe ?

This looks like check_nrpe may not even be able to communicate with your nsclient machine, do you get anything with just this
If not are you sure port 5666 is not being blocked by the Windows firewall?

In the GUI Configuration -> Select Commands for check_nrpe:
$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 120 -c $ARGS$
$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 120 -c (not an $ARGn$ index: "S")
Running ./check_nrpe - H 10.11.96.130 does return NRPE v3.2.1
I don't think it is an firewall issue as other checks are functioning.

as stated before you need to change the command to the above

This doesn't seem quite right, is 10.11.96.130 the windows machine?

commands.cfg updated and In the GUI Configuration:
$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 120 -c $ARGS$ -a $ARG2$
Status Information is NRPE Plugin for Nagios which is not correct.
10.11.96.130 is the Nagios Server running on Ubuntu v16.04

This is still incorrect, it needs to be
Code: Select all
$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 120 -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$
You want to run the command using the Windows servers IP not the Nagios servers IP

Ok, now the GUI Configuration does show:
$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 120 -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$
On the Windows Server machine and using nscp, do I run ./check_nrpe - H 10.11.103.104 or
check_nrpe -H 10.11.103.104?
Thanks again for your assistance.

If 10.11.103.104 is the Windows server you would run the following from the Nagios server

Running ./check_nrpe -H 10.11.103.104 returns:
I (0.5.2.35 2018-01-28) seem to be doing fine...
In the Nagios console for the check_eventlog services, I'm now seeing:
Invalid command line: unrecognised option '-a'

Ok, good, this looks like what we would expect
Lets run this

./check_nrpe - H 10.11.103.104 -t 30 -c check_eventlog -a "filter=provider = 'Application Error' and id = 1000 and message like 'Spacelabs.SLNIService.exe'"
