I have downloaded check_hdbnameserver.py and configured this in nagioshost. But, In Nagios server GUI.
For alert SAP HANA DB HDBName Server getting below error message.

HDBnameserver

UNKNOWN 01-09-2020 10:57:51 0d 0h 0m 24s 3/3 UNKNOWN - is .We can not identify process status

Below outputs from nagiosserver and nagioshost.

The first step is to test the plugin directly on your host, this will remove NRPE from being a problem.

Please show us the command used to test the plugin and the output from the plugin.

[root@nagioshost ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost -c check_hdbnameserver.py
UNKNOWN - is .We can not identify process status
[root@nagioshost ~]#

can you please take nrpe out of the equation, and run the check_hdbnameserver.py script with the needed parameters? then, let us know the result.

Thanks @tacolover101!

[root@nagioshost ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ -H localhost -c check_hdbnameserver.py
-bash: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/: Is a directory

What was being asked is can you run check_hdbnameserver.py on the remote server to see what the response is.

[root@nagioshost libexec]# ls -lh check_hdbnameserver.py
-rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 1.4K Jan 9 08:19 check_hdbnameserver.py
[root@nagioshost libexec]# pwd
/usr/local/nagios/libexec
[root@nagioshost libexec]# check_hdbnameserver.py
-bash: check_hdbnameserver.py: command not found
[root@nagioshost libexec]#

I think you meant to run You need to be able to get the plugin to work correctly (and giving you expected output) on the remote server before trying to make it work through NRPE
