Hello,

Just noticed that 84 % of the logs in /var/log/messages are generated by check_nrpe_v3.

Is there a way to prevent my logs from being flooded by check_nrpe_v3 telling me it accepted a version 2 packet? I'm not sure what is going on as only 20 % of my servers are using commands that use nrpe v3.

Grtz

Willem

Willem,

Thanks! This is a known issue and has been fixed in NRPE version 3.1.0 and newer, now that only logs if debug is turned on.

Ok, I'll try upgrading asap and will update this thread once I have more information.
