NRPE doesn't "send". In the standard configuration, Nagios runs check_nrpe on the central server just as it runs check_http and anything else; check_nrpe makes a connection to the nrpe-server on a remote machine; that remote machine runs the check it's configured to run, and reports the result back over the connection to the central server. I have a configuration that goes a bit beyond this. Server A is running Nagios; server B is directly accessible; server C is on a private network behind server B. In this case, there are several extra checks associated with server C that actually hit server B's NRPE instance, then fall through a second NRPE call to server C. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
