|
|
.PP

|
|
|
|
The purpose of this addon is to allow you to execute Nagios plugins on a

|
remote host in as transparent a manner as possible.

|
|
|
|
.PP

|
|
|

Notes:
|
|
|
|
|
This program is designed to process requests from the check_nrpe
|
|
|
|
|
plugin on the host(s) running Nagios. It can run as a service
|
|
|
|
|
under inetd or xinetd (read the docs for info on this), or as a
|
|
|
|
|
standalone daemon. Once a request is received from an authorized
|
|
|
|
|
host, NRPE will execute the command/plugin (as defined in the
|
|
|
|
|
config file) and return the plugin output and return code to the
|
|
|
|
|
check_nrpe plugin.
