Hi veenm,

You are checking an nrpe connection to the localhost machine, but in this case it's the Nagios machine itself. Is this intended? Chances are nrpe won't be installed on the Nagios machine as it's not required (it just needs the plugin check_nrpe).

Does nrpe work with remote hosts?

e.g.

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -H <remote server>
Kind Regards,

Gary Shergill
