Did you follow any particular documentation when setting up NRPE? If so, could you share it?

This document is good at catching some common mistakes. It's probably worth reviewing:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... utions.pdf

If you run through that document and were unable to resolve the issue, I would recommend sharing your machine's NRPE configuration file (nrpe.cfg) for the technicians to review as well as the outputs of the following commands executed from the remote RHEL 7.2 machine you are trying to monitor:

Code: Select all

find / -name check_load
ps -aef | grep nrpe
service xinetd status
service nrpe status
