On my case I had to increase the command timeout. I created my own plugin and this is my check command: $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_nvr -t 3600

I run a find command that takes a longtime to execute

  • The check_nrpe help is confusing in this respect - it describes -t as a connection timeout, but it is actually also a response timeout. If it connects immediately but the check takes a long time to run, it will return a timeout message as Youssef says.

either nrpe service is not running on that remote host or add nagios server ip on that nrpe client host configuration file

/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg

"allowed_hosts=XX.XX.XX.XX"

Then restart nrpe service.

  • please check nrpe is running or not 'ps -ef|grep nrpe" should get some thing like this "/usr/sbin/nrpe -c /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg -d" if running then check for which port its running on default port is "5666"
