Re: [Nagios-users] NRPE question
I have thought about this solution but I have an issue with this. Let us say the machine has high load. Now, I presume, we are checking the number of "nrpe" processes on client host via nrpe. If the load is high, the check for number of nrpe processes will fail, which in turn would fork possibly another nrpe process? Please advise on this.

[Nagios-users] NRPE question
Hi - I have installed nagios on one solaris server(Server1). I would like to , if I need to check/monitor an other Server ( Server2 ) from Server1. Do I need to have the NRPE running on the server2? or is there any other means that I can monitor server2 from server1 using Nagios Regards -- Come build with us!

[Nagios-users] NRPE question
It´s anybody interested or already working in a way to keep a centralized repository of remote plugins and configuration for NRPE ? What we are looking for is to add/develop some new option in NRPE to "pull" the remote plugins/configuration installed in the NRPE agent´s nodes and keep them in the Nagios monitor node for backup purposes.
