Nagios ignores check_nrpe return code

[Rene Rembarz]

Dear all,

I have a problem with my Nagios (v3.0.3) ignoring the return code of check_nrpe (v2.10). An example check_nrpe query looks like this:

# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.0.1.10 -c check_users ; echo "Return code: $?"

USERS WARNING - 1 users currently logged in |users=1;1;2;0 Return code: 1

Based on the return code, Nagios should (if I am niot mistaken) display the service as status "WARNING". But the Service State Information page in Nagios reads:

Current Status: OK  (green color)
Status Information:	USERS WARNING - 1 users currently logged in

This happens with all service I monitor via nrpe, the check itself goes ok, the status information is displyed correctly, but Nagios does not show the right status based on the return code. For local services on the nagios machine (e.g., a local check_users) this works just fine, so really seems to be something between nagios and check_nrpe.

Any advice or tips for further troubleshooting?

Cheers

René
