Hi Team,
Can we configure NRPE agent on Nagios XI server to monitor another Nagios server?
Regards,
Sag

Is this what you are looking for?

This is what I did.

Absolutely.
The NRPE daemon won't interfere with Nagios at all. This won't however help you integrate the 2 Nagios together, it will just monitor the remote Nagios server like any other Linux box.
To receive remote check results you'll want NRDP.
Make sense?

check_nrpe is already exist on Nagios server under libexe folder but nrpe service will not be running as daemon on Nagios server right ?

That's correct - check_nrpe is the client.
nrpe is the server portion and can be called directly with the -d flag or alternatively launched via xinetd/initd.
Incidentally, both are installed during the NagiosXI full install, although it's rare you'd use nrpe daemon except maybe for testing.
