Nagios Support Forum

I downloaded nrpe agent from https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ine.tar.gz. After, installed it on Debain 10 as follows.

root@debian:~# wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ent.tar.gz
root@debian:~# tar xzf linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz
root@debian:~# cd linux-nrpe-agent
root@debian:~# ./fullinstall

Next, I changed configuration in /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg. Still, I do not know how to restart nrpe agent. Besides, how do I remove nrpe agent?

Hi @aphk,

Welcome to the Nagios Support Forum! Glad to have you in the community. Some good questions and I will try my best to answer.

When you install the NRPE Linux Agent, the NRPE service is running under xinetd, so after making configuration changes, restart this service. If you want to remove this agent, we have a guide on our knowledge base with step-by-step instructions.

I Hope that helps and let me know if you have any other questions.
