I enabled debugging in the nrpe.cfg and I'm tailing the /var/log/messages but only the standard messages appear there.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Here is what I am trying to do:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> On the Nagios Host I am running the following command manually.<o:p></o:p> ./check_nrpe -H app-dev -p 5666 -c check_tcp -a 1 5 as400 449<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> On the Nagios Remote this the corresponding command in the nrpe.cfg.<o:p></o:p> command[check_tcp]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_tcp -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -H $ARG3$ -p $ARG$<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> On the Nagios Host I get the following error.<o:p></o:p> CHECK_NRPE: Error receiving data from daemon.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I am currently using the nrpe daemon to call other plugins (i.e. Check_disk & check_load) which work fine but I am not passing arguments.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Now, I have reconfigured the nrpe daemon by running "./configure --enable-command-args" and I have set the "don't_blame_nrpe=1" to. After recompiling nrpe I replaced the check_nrpe on the Nagios host as well as replaced the /usr/sbin/nrpe with the newly built file.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> What else am I missing? Am I passing the arguments incorrectly?<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thanks in advance for any help.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Mark T.
