Hi Some more points: Does the user nagios have rights to nrpe binary and config file? Check nrpe.cfg for nrpe_user=nagios and nrpe_group=nagios. To activate logging: As default, nrpe log to syslog BUT you have to add daemon.debug to /etc/rsyslog.conf : **.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;daemon.debug /var/log/messages* And set debug=1 in nrpe.cfg service rsyslog restart service nrpe restart Regards, Eric 2015-05-03 6:37 GMT+02:00 Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>: > On Sat, May 02, 2015 at 06:26:47PM -0400, Tim Dunphy wrote: > > > > > > Not just /var/log/messages.
