This error could be caused by mismatched packet versions between your agent and server. The most notable change between NRPE version 2 and 3 is the packet size. You could force your plugin to use the old protocol with the -2 flag, or you could update your agent so that it can communicate with the latest version of check_nrpe.

Please refer to the following knowledge base articles for more detailed information on troubleshooting issues like these.
