Centralizing NRPE Configuration

[Kevin Scott Sumner]

Robert,

I second Aaron's CFengine suggestion.

Moving an infrastructure towards using something like CFengine or puppet 
will make you saner in the long run.  Much, much saner.  Setting it up to 
push a single config is a little overboard, but it makes syncing and 
sanitizing all of your machines REALLY easy.

We use CFengine here, so feel free to contact me off-list for more 
specifics about it.

Cheers,
Kevin

Is there a better way to manage this? I'd like the Nagios server to be a central point of configuration. I am using nrpe's --enable-command-args option and passing parameters via check_nrpe, so once the monitored host has the nrpe.cfg, there wouldn't be much to do there.
