############################################################################# # Sample NRPE Config File # Written by: Ethan Galstad (nagios@nagios.org) # # Last Modified: 01-20-2006 # # NOTES: # This is a sample configuration file for the NRPE daemon. It needs to be # located on the remote host that is running the NRPE daemon, not the host # from which the check_nrpe client is being executed. ############################################################################# # PID FILE # The name of the file in which the NRPE daemon should write it's process ID # number. The file is only written if the NRPE daemon is started by the root # user and is running in standalone mode. pid_file=/var/run/nrpe.pid # PORT NUMBER # Port number we should wait for connections on. # NOTE: This must be a non-priviledged port (i.e. > 1024). # NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or xinetd server_port=@nrpe_port@ # SERVER ADDRESS # Address that nrpe should bind to in case there are more than one interface # and you do not want nrpe to bind on all interfaces. # NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or xinetd #server_address=192.168.1.1 # NRPE USER # This determines the effective user that the NRPE daemon should run as. # You can either supply a username or a UID. # # NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or xinetd nrpe_user=@nrpe_user@ # NRPE GROUP # This determines the effective group that the NRPE daemon should run as. # You can either supply a group name or a GID. # # NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or xinetd nrpe_group=@nrpe_grp@ # COMMAND ARGUMENT PROCESSING # This option determines whether or not the NRPE daemon will allow clients # to specify arguments to commands that are executed. This option only works # if the daemon was configured with the --enable-command-args configure script # option. # # *** ENABLING THIS OPTION IS A SECURITY RISK! *** # Read the SECURITY file for information on some of the security implications # of enabling this variable. # # Values: 0=do not allow arguments, 1=allow command arguments dont_blame_nrpe=0 # DEBUGGING OPTION # This option determines whether or not debugging messages are logged to the # syslog facility. # Values: 0=debugging off, 1=debugging on debug=0 # COMMAND TIMEOUT # This specifies the maximum number of seconds that the NRPE daemon will # allow plugins to finish executing before killing them off. command_timeout=60 # INCLUDE CONFIG FILE # This directive allows you to include definitions from an external config file. #include= # INCLUDE CONFIG DIRECTORY # This directive allows you to include definitions from config files (with a # .cfg extension) in one or more directories (with recursion). #include_dir= #include_dir= # COMMAND DEFINITIONS # Command definitions that this daemon will run. Definitions # are in the following format: # # command[]= # # When the daemon receives a request to return the results of # it will execute the command specified by the argument. # # Unlike Nagios, the command line cannot contain macros - it must be # typed exactly as it should be executed. # # Note: Any plugins that are used in the command lines must reside # on the machine that this daemon is running on! The examples below # assume that you have plugins installed in a /usr/local/nagios/libexec # directory. Also note that you will have to modify the definitions below # to match the argument format the plugins expect. Remember, these are # examples only! # The following examples use hardcoded command arguments... command[check_users]=@libexecdir@/check_users -w 5 -c 10 command[check_load]=@libexecdir@/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20 command[check_disk1]=@libexecdir@/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /dev/hda1 command[check_disk2]=@libexecdir@/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p /dev/hdb1 command[check_zombie_procs]=@libexecdir@/check_procs -w 5 -c 10 -s Z command[check_total_procs]=@libexecdir@/check_procs -w 150 -c 200 # The following examples allow user-supplied arguments and can # only be used if the NRPE daemon was compiled with support for # command arguments *AND* the dont_blame_nrpe directive in this # config file is set to '1'... #command[check_users]=@libexecdir@/check_users -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ #command[check_load]=@libexecdir@/check_load -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ #command[check_disk]=@libexecdir@/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$ #command[check_procs]=@libexecdir@/check_procs -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -s $ARG3$
