You should be able to get a bit more info out of the remote host's syslog, for centos/rhel the syslog is normally in the below location, please share the output of this command:

Code: Select all

tail -50 /var/log/messages

There was absolutely nothing else in your syslog besides on entry at "Dec 12 11:33:46"? Are you sure?

From the nagios system run:

Code: Select all

nmap -p 5666 [Hostname\IP of the remote system]
(Please be sure to enter your host\IP not just copy paste, it also cannot be localhost)
On the remote system that you have installed nrpe on, and want to monitor the memory run:

Code: Select all

service xinetd status
ps -ef | grep nrpe
ps -ef | grep xinetx
netstat -naop | grep 5666
