Nagios Support Forum

I'm currently evaluating Nagios XI on CentOS 7.

I ran the install script which did everything nicely. (This included adding new yum repositories, downloading I don't know what, compilation, installation of MariaDB and xinetd (xinetd is back, this is a Good Thing), but fixing Apache httpd failed because I had a nonstandard setup, I will have to examine what happened.)

Now I was astonished that the NRPE version as installed is 2.15 as the latest is 3.2.0 (https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/A ... or/details)
Is this by design?

Actually, the latest is 3.2.1

Yes, this by design. It will be getting updated in XI 5.5.

XI uses a lot of old, stable components. NRPE is particularly old because there are some incompatibilities in some circumstance between old versions of check_nrpe and new nrpe (and visa versa). We try not to break things for people, but the time has come in XI 5.5 to move on (of course, people can still install the old NRPE as needed).
