OK, so they look like checks run from the monitored host itself, right?

Eek! How come there are two??? There should only be one nrpe daemon running.
You can see that the first one has been running since January. Kill them
both, with extreme prejudice, restart it and verify that there's only one
copy of the nrpe daemon running. This will probably solve your problem.

Guy.
