HI Team,

I am following Box293's link

http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... hilit=nmap ..


before that i need one more clarification. My question is there is no check_nrpe pluging in /usr/lib/nagios/plugins folder.

How can i get that plugin? and i installed nrpe from ubuntu repository
sudo apt-get install nagios-nrpe-server
sudo apt-get install nagios-plugins-basic nagios-plugins nagios-plugins-extra nagios-plugins-common

Getting the following response in nagios server

This is my result for ...
root@vm:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ps aux | grep nrpe

You can run the following command on the Nagios server to find check_nrpe:

Code: Select all

find / -name check_nrpe

Also, is there any firewall in place (either hardware or software) that might be blocking Nagios from reaching the NRPE server?

[Box293]

On the Ubuntu server you'll also need to install:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install nagios-nrpe-plugin

And then check_nrpe will be located in /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/
