Is it possible to have environment variables of remote server in nrpe.cfg?

I know the configparser package allows the use of interpolated variables through SafeConfigParser. NCPA does not appear to use a SafeConfigParser (it appears to use a ConfigParser), but I'll let a tech verify one way or the other whether or not this is or will be supported.

Relevant StackExchange post explaining this a bit more:

EDIT: Ha, this post is totally not about NCPA but i'm going to leave this here anyway.

Hello, @lngphp. Are you referring to the nrpe agent on linux systems? I don't think you will be able to use environment variables in nrpe.cfg, but you could write a custom plugin that is going to be called via nrpe and that will use environment variables.
