Hi Gabriel, 

Could you send the command that you are using?

I’ve just finished configuring a Nagios instance, and I have also install NRPE locally on the same machine. I have configured NRPE and checked that it’s working by running the following, 



# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1 

NRPE v2.12 



The result comes back as expected. Also, checking swap returns the following. 



# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_swap -w 20% -c 10% 

SWAP OK - 100% free (1983 MB out of 1983 MB) |swap=1983MB;396;198;0;1983 



So I know that NRPE itself is working, what I can’t figure out is why Nagios not giving me the extra data, I just get the error msg 

CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds. 



Any advice appreciated. Just to clarify, Nagios and NRPE are running on the same box.

Kind Regards, 

Mr Gabriel
