Hi,
Can you let us know the importance of allowed_hosts entry in nrpe.cfg file.
Kindly advice if there is any issue if we comment the allowed_hosts entry in nrpe.cfg file ?
and also uncomment the entry and give desired Nagios instances ?
What is your recommendation on these two.

Re: importance of allowed_hosts in nrpe.cfg file
This is a security precaution. I suggest that you use it unless you have another feature in your network to prevent the connection to that host from being intercepted (such as a robust firewall) or if you just don't mind taking the risk for some other reason...
I do not think that you could just comment out that line, I believe some of the internal logic of Nagios requires it. You can certainly add more IP addresses to it, just make sure that they are separated by a comma.
Is there a reason you don't want to use it?
