This is going to be somewhat hit or miss. There is a ARM build for Arch Linux here

I am sorry,i have checked the url, but i still don't understand, does it say that the nrpe itself can be used for the arm directly ,because i found that the nrpe he gived just is the normal type.
I truely don't know how to do it ,please help me ,thank you!

On the right side is a link to the Arch ARM build under "Package Actions"

i see it,but if my arm device doesn't install arch, i can't use it ,right?does it mean that i must change the kernel of my arm?does it also have another easy way?
thanks for your help!

What OS does your ARM device run?

I would recommend compiling NRPE from source. You will need openssl and openssl devel packages. Give it a try, and let us know of any issues you ran into. We will try to help you out. Here's the official NRPE documentation:
