No, you can update first check_nrpe on your main nagios machine and latter update all NRPE agent. The check_nrpe plugin is backward compatible with non-patched NRPE agent.

Of course, if you wan't large output, you need to update both check_nrpe and NRPE agents. But with this patch, you can update only required agent that need large output.

For your information, I'm using this patch since 2 years on about 500 machines (AIX, Solaris and Linux) with about 6500 services.

Regards,

Yannig
