[Nagios-users] NRPE question
I am running nrpe as daemon rather than xinetd. I have one server which showed high load and all nrpe checks where showing UNKNOWN. Later on I logged into the box and I saw there were 382 nrpe process running. Can someone shed some light into this?

Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE question
I have thought about this solution but I have an issue with this. Let us say the machine has high load. Now, I presume, we are checking the number of nrpe processes on client host via nrpe. If the load is high, the check for number of nrpe processes will fail, which in turn would fork possibly another nrpe process? Please advise on this.

Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE question
Unfortunately my problem is that its happenning on a remote client machine rather than nagios server. On Mon, Feb 22, 2010 at 3:32 PM, patrick.mor...@hp.com wrote: Hi shadih!

The check I was referring to runs on the Nagios boxes (since that's where I see nrpe go out of control). So I'm doing a local check that does nothing but look for NRPE in the process list; it doesn't use NRPE to do that. -- Cordially, Shadhin Rahman -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

you could use check_ssh, I suppose, but nrpe is way better -- Groeten, J.Asenjo On Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 4:36 PM, akp geek akpg...@gmail.com wrote: Hi - I have installed nagios on one solaris server(Server1).
