NRPE usually logs to syslog (var/log/messages). In your nrpe.cfg you might see the following lines:

Code: Select all

# LOG FACILITY
# The syslog facility that should be used for logging purposes.

log_facility=daemon

Typically they go through syslog and can be found in /var/log/messages. Also though - typically nrpe is very quiet. You can turn on debugging, but even still the output isn't particularly verbose. You will find a lot of messages from xinetd though if that is the facility you're using to launch nrpe.
