<p>I recently built a nagios 3.0 server and having a bit of problem getting remote hosts monitored correctly with nrpe. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>NRPE seems to be configured correctly on the local and remote host. </p>
<p>[root@nagiosbox objects]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H nycplx01a -c check_load -t 30</p>
<p>OK - load average: 0.08, 0.02, 0.01|load1=0.080;15.000;30.000;0; load5=0.020;10.000;25.000;0; load15=0.010;5.000;20.000;0;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I added the following entries to nagios.cfg</p>
<p>cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/linuxhosts.cfg</p>
<p>cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/ballista-host.cfg</p>
<p><br><br></p>
<p>I created a template host definition file. </p>
<p>--- ballista-host.cfg --- </p>
<p>define host {</p>
<p> name ballista-host</p>
<p> use linux-server</p>
<p> check_period 24x7</p>
<p> retry_interval 5</p>
<p> max_check_attempts 10</p>
<p> check_command check-host-alive</p>
<p> notification_period 24x7</p>
<p> notification_interval 30</p>
<p> notification_options d,r</p>
<p> contact_groups admins</p>
<p> register 0</p>
<p>}</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here is the definition file I'm using to define my hosts. </p>
<p>--- linux-hosts.cfg --- </p>
<p> </p>
<p>[root@nyadmlx01 objects]# cat linuxhosts.cfg</p>
<p>define host {</p>
<p> use ballista-host</p>
<p> host_name nycplx01a</p>

<p> </p>
<p>define service {</p>
<p> use generic-service</p>
<p> host_name nycplx01a,nycplx01b</p>
<p> service_description CPU Load</p>
<p> check_command check_nrpe!check_load <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Wingdings">ß</span> No matter what check_nrpe I use here I get configuration problems</p>
<p>}</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Checking services...</p>
<p>Error: Service check command 'check_nrpe' specified in service 'CPU Load' for host 'nycplx01a' not defined anywhere!</p>
<p>Error: Service check command 'check_nrpe' specified in service 'CPU Load' for host 'nycplx01b' not defined anywhere!</p>
<p> Checked 10 services.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If anyone could help me with getting remote checks to work using nrpe I would greatly appricate it thanks. </p>
