# This is a sample configuration file for the NRPE daemon. It needs to be
9
# located on the remote host that is running the NRPE daemon, not the host
10
# from which the check_nrpe client is being executed.

# Port number we should wait for connections on.
17
# NOTE: This must be a non-priviledged port (i.e. > 1024).
18
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or xinetd

server_port=@nrpe_port@

# Address that nrpe should bind to in case there are more than one interface
26
# and you do not want nrpe to bind on all interfaces.
27
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or xinetd
29
#server_address=192.168.1.1
33
# ALLOWED HOST ADDRESSES
34
# This is a comma-delimited list of IP address of hosts that are allowed
35
# to talk to the NRPE daemon.
37
# NOTE: The daemon only does rudimentary checking of the client's IP
38
# address. I would highly recommend adding entries in your
39
# /etc/hosts.allow file to allow only the specified host to connect
40
# to the port you are running this daemon on.
42
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or xinetd
44
allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1
49
# This determines the effective user that the NRPE daemon should run as.
50
# You can either supply a username or a UID.
52
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or xinetd
59
# This determines the effective group that the NRPE daemon should run as.
60
# You can either supply a group name or a GID.
62
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or xinetd
68
# COMMAND ARGUMENT PROCESSING
69
# This option determines whether or not the NRPE daemon will allow clients
70
# to specify arguments to commands that are executed. This option only works
71
# if the daemon was configured with the --enable-command-args configure script
74
# *** ENABLING THIS OPTION IS A SECURITY RISK! ***
75
# Read the SECURITY file for information on some of the security implications
76
# of enabling this variable.
78
# Values: 0=do not allow arguments, 1=allow command arguments
85
# This option determines whether or not debugging messages are logged to the
87
# Values: 0=debugging off, 1=debugging on
94
# This specifies the maximum number of seconds that the NRPE daemon will
95
# allow plugins to finish executing before killing them off.

# INCLUDE CONFIG FILE
102
# This directive allows you to include definitions from an external config file.
104
#include=<somefile.cfg>
108
# INCLUDE CONFIG DIRECTORY
109
# This directive allows you to include definitions from config files (with a
110
# .cfg extension) in one or more directories (with recursion).
112
#include_dir=<somedirectory>
113
#include_dir=<someotherdirectory>
117
# COMMAND DEFINITIONS
118
# Command definitions that this daemon will run. Definitions
119
# are in the following format:
121
# command[<command_name>]=<command_line>
123
# When the daemon receives a request to return the results of <command_name>
124
# it will execute the command specified by the <command_line> argument.
126
# Unlike Nagios, the command line cannot contain macros - it must be
127
# typed exactly as it should be executed.
129
# Note: Any plugins that are used in the command lines must reside
130
# on the machine that this daemon is running on! The examples below
131
# assume that you have plugins installed in a /usr/local/nagios/libexec
132
# directory. Also note that you will have to modify the definitions below
133
# to match the argument format the plugins expect. Remember, these are
136
# The following examples use hardcoded command arguments...
