Allowing /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm in /etc/sudoers to xyzuser and then defining the check_hpasm command in nrpe.cfg prefixed with sudo fixed the problem.

[Nagios-users] Trouble with check_nrpe+check_hpasm
I am monitoring system named locsys from NAGIOS server named Nagios. I can get check_hpasm to work locally on the system being monitored (locsys) but I am unable to get check_hpasm to work with check_nrpe when monitored through NAGIOS server. Other monitoring commands work fine with check_nrpe with the same combination. Here are some command outputs to provide a better understanding. [r...@locsys ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_hpasm OK - System: 'proliant dl360 g3', S/N: 'xx', ROM: 'P31 09/15/2004', hardware working fine, da: 1 logical drives, 2 physical drives On NAGIOS server I get this: [r...@nagios ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H locsys -c check_hpasm CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds. Other check_nrpe monitoring commands work fine with the same combination: [r...@nagios ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H locsys -c check_memory OK: 66% (2028M) free memory.
