nrpe is the listening utility on a server waiting requests from the nagios server . It has a "access limiter" as to make sure that only one server can query it , that is the "allowed_hosts" directive . If your nagios ip is changed - and the local machine ip hasn't , then you need to tell the local machine the Nagios server has a IP so it will accept the requests from the new ip . this is done by replacing the nagios server ip in the allowed_hosts directve (you have it as 122.xxx.xxx.xxx) .
