############################################################################# # Sample NRPE Config File # Written by: Ethan Galstad (nagios@nagios.org) # # Last Modified: 12-30-2002 # # 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. ############################################################################# # 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=5666 # 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=192.168.1.1 # ALLOWED HOST ADDRESSES # This is a comma-delimited list of IP address of hosts 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 # 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 # DEBUGGING OPTION # This option determines whether or not debugging messages are logged to the # syslog facility. # Values: 0=debugging off, 1=debugging on debug=0 # 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 # COMMAND DEFINITIONS # Command definitions that this daemon will run. Definitions # are in the following format: # # command[]= # # When the daemon receives a request to return the results of # it will execute the command specified by the 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/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! command[check_users]=/usr/nagios/libexec/check_users -w 5 -c 10 command[check_load]=/usr/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20 command[check_disk1]=/usr/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /dev/hda1 command[check_disk2]=/usr/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /dev/hdb1 command[check_zombie_procs]=/usr/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 5 -c 10 -s Z command[check_total_procs]=/usr/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 150 -c 200
