I run nrpe on both Linux and Solaris clients. Have you run the startup of nrpe
on the client in debug mode? This should be straight forward, the only caverat
I have run into is not having two security lib's installed.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Confusion on nrpe
I have been struggling with the documentation on nrpe.
It is very difficult to tell when the text is talking about configuring
something on the monitoring server, and when the text is describing configuring
something on the monitored device.
My goal for a group of machines behind a DMZ is to query some plugins, and send
the reulsts from the Monitored servers TO the centralized Nagios server that
displays the status of all ncsa, nrpe etc machines.
I thought that the purpose of NRPE was to fill this need.
Now I am starting to think that NRPE has nothing to do with this. Here is what
I have tried:
I have a group of servers behind a dmz that I do not want Nagios to talk
directly to.
Rather, I want these servers to send status info to the central nagios server
outbound through the DMZ firewall.
I have nrpe installed on both the central nagios server, and also on the
servers behind the DMZ.
I am not using xinetd, or inetd, rather a simple daemon.
To test if everything is working, from the command line on a server behind the
dmz I enter:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H (central server ip) -c check_users
And I get back the results that apply to the Central Monitoring server, not
from the host..
If I swap the –H with localhost, I get back the correct info.
Is it possible to send the results from the DMZ machines to the Centralized
Nagios server?
My goal is to send from servers behind dmz to the nagios server.
Thanks for any help.
