10.3.2 Enable NRPE monitoring
Enabling NRPE allows you to execute plug-ins (such as check_tcp and check_ping) on the remote Console
Server to monitor serial or network attached remote servers. This will offload CPU load from the
upstream Nagios monitoring machine which is especially valuable if you are monitoring hundreds or
thousands of hosts. To enable NRPE:
Select System: Nagios and check NRPE Enabled
Enter the details for the user connection to the upstream Nagios monitoring server. Again, refer
to the sample Nagios configuration example below for details of configuring specific NRPE checks
By default, the Console Server will accept a connection between the upstream Nagios monitoring server
and the NRPE server with SSL encryption, without SSL, or tunneled through SSH. The security for the
connection is configured at the Nagios server.
