Re: [Nagios-users] host port setting
U have to explain your setup pretty well before I can advice. For example, a web server listens on port 80. A web browser connects to the web server on port 80 before communication can take place. How is your setup like?

Re: [Nagios-users] host port setting
I will advice you configure the nrpe daemon on the remote host to listen on which ever port you choose. After that, restart nagios on the monitoring host and use the plugin in the libexec directory to see if you can still talk to the remote server. To answer your question, I do not know of any directive to change the port number for nrpe on nagios. Perhaps it is harded coded in the plugin, perhaps not, you will only know after testing it.

Re: [Nagios-users] host port setting SOLVED
Viktor Matys napsal(a):
I have machine with NRPE server, where I needed change the port number
where the NRPE listens. It's simply allowed in configuration file. But I
cannot find out how to set this port number on main Nagios server, which
collects information from that remote NRPE server. Is there a
configuration directive I overlooked?
Thank for help
Viktor
Thank to everybody for help. Solution is:
We can put command line parameters in directive address in define
host statement:
# This is a nrpe remote server definition. NRPE is listening on port 5667.
# Tested on Debian Lenny.
define host {
host_namesome_host
host_alias some_alias
*address host.domain.com -p 5667*
}
Thank again :o)
Viktor
