/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -d


*And from nagiosXI server:*

check_mem -a '-w 65 -c 75'

# Sample NRPE Config File

# Written by: Ethan Galstad (nagios at nagios.org)

#

# Last Modified: 11-23-2007

#

# NOTES:

# This is a sample configuration file for the NRPE daemon.  It needs to be

# located on the remote host that is running the NRPE daemon, not the host

# from which the check_nrpe client is being executed.

#############################################################################





# LOG FACILITY

# The syslog facility that should be used for logging purposes.



log_facility=daemon







# PID FILE

# The name of the file in which the NRPE daemon should write it's process ID

# number.  The file is only written if the NRPE daemon is started by the
root

# user and is running in standalone mode.



pid_file=/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe.pid







# PORT NUMBER

# Port number we should wait for connections on.

# NOTE: This must be a non-priviledged port (i.e. > 1024).

# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd



server_port=5667







# SERVER ADDRESS

# Address that nrpe should bind to in case there are more than one interface

# and you do not want nrpe to bind on all interfaces.

# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd



server_address=10.204.100.73







# NRPE USER

# This determines the effective user that the NRPE daemon should run as.

# You can either supply a username or a UID.

#

# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd



nrpe_user=nagios







# NRPE GROUP

# This determines the effective group that the NRPE daemon should run as.

# You can either supply a group name or a GID.

#

# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd



nrpe_group=nagios







# ALLOWED HOST ADDRESSES

# This is an optional comma-delimited list of IP address or hostnames

# that are allowed to talk to the NRPE daemon.

#

# Note: The daemon only does rudimentary checking of the client's IP

# address.  I would highly recommend adding entries in your /etc/hosts.allow

# file to allow only the specified host to connect to the port

# you are running this daemon on.

#

# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or
xinetd



#allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1



only_from=127.0.0.1 10.2.202.221



# COMMAND ARGUMENT PROCESSING

# This option determines whether or not the NRPE daemon will allow clients

# to specify arguments to commands that are executed.  This option only
works

# if the daemon was configured with the --enable-command-args configure
script

# option.

#

# *** ENABLING THIS OPTION IS A SECURITY RISK! ***

# Read the SECURITY file for information on some of the security
implications

# of enabling this variable.

#

# Values: 0=do not allow arguments, 1=allow command arguments



dont_blame_nrpe=1







# COMMAND PREFIX

# This option allows you to prefix all commands with a user-defined string.

# A space is automatically added between the specified prefix string and the

# command line from the command definition.

#

# *** THIS EXAMPLE MAY POSE A POTENTIAL SECURITY RISK, SO USE WITH CAUTION!
***

# Usage scenario:

# Execute restricted commmands using sudo.  For this to work, you need to
add

# the nagios user to your /etc/sudoers.  An example entry for alllowing

# execution of the plugins from might be:

#

# nagios          ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/

#

# This lets the nagios user run all commands in that directory (and only
them)

# without asking for a password.  If you do this, make sure you don't give

# random users write access to that directory or its contents!



# command_prefix=/usr/bin/sudo







# DEBUGGING OPTION

# This option determines whether or not debugging messages are logged to the

# syslog facility.

# Values: 0=debugging off, 1=debugging on



debug=1



# COMMAND TIMEOUT

# This specifies the maximum number of seconds that the NRPE daemon will

# allow plugins to finish executing before killing them off.



command_timeout=60







# CONNECTION TIMEOUT

# This specifies the maximum number of seconds that the NRPE daemon will

# wait for a connection to be established before exiting. This is sometimes

# seen where a network problem stops the SSL being established even though

# all network sessions are connected. This causes the nrpe daemons to

# accumulate, eating system resources. Do not set this too low.



connection_timeout=300







# WEEK RANDOM SEED OPTION

# This directive allows you to use SSL even if your system does not have

# a /dev/random or /dev/urandom (on purpose or because the necessary patches

# were not applied). The random number generator will be seeded from a file

# which is either a file pointed to by the environment valiable $RANDFILE

# or $HOME/.rnd. If neither exists, the pseudo random number generator will

# be initialized and a warning will be issued.

# Values: 0=only seed from /dev/[u]random, 1=also seed from weak randomness



#allow_weak_random_seed=1







# INCLUDE CONFIG FILE

# This directive allows you to include definitions from an external config
file.



#include=<somefile.cfg>







# INCLUDE CONFIG DIRECTORY

# This directive allows you to include definitions from config files (with a

# .cfg extension) in one or more directories (with recursion).



#include_dir=<somedirectory>

#include_dir=<someotherdirectory>







# COMMAND DEFINITIONS

# Command definitions that this daemon will run.  Definitions

# are in the following format:

#

# command[<command_name>]=<command_line>

#

# When the daemon receives a request to return the results of <command_name>

# it will execute the command specified by the <command_line> argument.

#

# Unlike Nagios, the command line cannot contain macros - it must be

# typed exactly as it should be executed.

#

# Note: Any plugins that are used in the command lines must reside

# on the machine that this daemon is running on!  The examples below

# assume that you have plugins installed in a /usr/local/nagios/libexec

# directory.  Also note that you will have to modify the definitions below

# to match the argument format the plugins expect.  Remember, these are

# examples only!





# The following examples use hardcoded command arguments...
