Here's a document that explains how to configure / compile NRPE -

rkennedy wrote:Check out this configuration file, can you post it for us to review?

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg

rkennedy wrote:Are you running NRPE standalone, or through xinetd?

Were those files found on the Nagios machine, or the client machine?

The command that needs to be added to the proper config file is -

Code: Select all

command[check_mailq]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mailq -w 15 -c 20

Please post the output of these two commands -

Code: Select all

cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
cat /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe

When I finish of modify that file, Have I to do a "service nrpe restart"?

service xinetd restart

grep nrpe /etc/services
ps -ef | egrep "xinetd|nrpe"

You may have to restart xinetd to get the new configuration to apply. Give the following a try:

Code: Select all

service xinetd restart

Also, I'm interested in the following:

Code: Select all

grep nrpe /etc/services
ps -ef | egrep "xinetd|nrpe"
