Can you please post the contents of /etc/nagios-plugins/config/check_nrpe.cfg?

Code: Select all
# this command runs a program $ARG1$ with arguments $ARG2$
define command {
command_name check_nrpe
command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$
}
# this command runs a program $ARG1$ with no arguments
define command {
command_name check_nrpe_1arg
command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$
}

Looks like we found the the long lost file! Can you remove the -a from the command below?
Code: Select all
define command {
command_name check_nrpe
command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$
}
So it should look like -
Code: Select all
define command {
command_name check_nrpe
command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}
Restart Nagios, and let us know the result!

I made the change and then all the sudden I was getting flooded with emails so I put it back. The emails were delayed by about 5 minutes but the error did not appear to go away unless I did not wait long enough. Why did it kick all those emails?

The reason you received a lot of emails is because it probably broke a few checks when you made this change. The way we would normally run a check_nrpe is with the -a defined seperately.
Can you post the service definition in question that isn't working for us to look at? We should be able to adjust this as needed, knowing now that the -a flag is already defined.

This is one of the services that started screaming...
Code: Select all
define service{
use infra-trivial-service
host_name FISE2
service_description Backup Drive Space
check_command check_nrpe!CheckDriveSize!ShowAll MinWarnFree=10% MinCritFree=5% Drive=f:
}
This is the email notice:
Notification Type: PROBLEM
Service: Backup Drive Space
Host: FISE2
State: CRITICAL
Date/Time: Mon Dec 21 16:25:42 EST 2015
Additional Info:
Missing argument(s).

Yeah, it's because of the -a flag being included in the command already and we had taken it out.
Can you post the service definition of the one that's still not working?

Let's change it to this:
Code: Select all
define service{
use infra-trivial-service
host_name LYNCFE2
service_description Memory Usage
check_command check_nrpe!CheckMem!'MaxWarn=85% MaxCrit=92% ShowAll type=physical'
}
Reload the Nagios service.
