#  Sample NRPE Config File
#
#  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.
#
#############################################################################


# LOG FACILITY
# The syslog facility that should be used for logging purposes.

log_facility=@log_facility@



# LOG FILE
# If a log file is specified in this option, nrpe will write to
# that file instead of using syslog.

#log_file=@logdir@/nrpe.log



# 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



# 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=@piddir@/nrpe.pid



# PORT NUMBER
# Port number we should wait for connections on.
# NOTE: This must be a non-privileged 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=127.0.0.1



# LISTEN QUEUE SIZE
# Listen queue size (backlog) for serving incoming connections.
# You may want to increase this value under high load.

#listen_queue_size=5



# 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_group@



# ALLOWED HOST ADDRESSES
# This is an optional comma-delimited list of IP address or hostnames
# that are allowed to talk to the NRPE daemon. Network addresses with a bit mask
# (i.e. 192.168.1.0/24) are also supported. Hostname wildcards are not currently
# supported.
#
# Note: The daemon only does rudimentary checking of the client's IP
# address.  I would highly recommend adding entries in your /etc/hosts.allow
# file to allow only the specified host to connect to the port
# you are running this daemon on.
#
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or xinetd

allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1,::1



# 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



# BASH COMMAND SUBSTITUTION
# This option determines whether or not the NRPE daemon will allow clients
# to specify arguments that contain bash command substitutions of the form
# $(...).  This option only works if the daemon was configured with both
# the --enable-command-args and --enable-bash-command-substitution configure
# script options.
#
# *** ENABLING THIS OPTION IS A HIGH SECURITY RISK! ***
# Read the SECURITY file for information on some of the security implications
# of enabling this variable.
#
# Values: 0=do not allow bash command substitutions,
#         1=allow bash command substitutions

allow_bash_command_substitution=0



# COMMAND PREFIX
# This option allows you to prefix all commands with a user-defined string.
# A space is automatically added between the specified prefix string and the
# command line from the command definition.
#
# *** THIS EXAMPLE MAY POSE A POTENTIAL SECURITY RISK, SO USE WITH CAUTION! ***
# Usage scenario:
# Execute restricted commmands using sudo.  For this to work, you need to add
# the nagios user to your /etc/sudoers.  An example entry for allowing
# execution of the plugins from might be:
#
# nagios          ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/
#
# This lets the nagios user run all commands in that directory (and only them)
# without asking for a password.  If you do this, make sure you don't give
# random users write access to that directory or its contents!

# command_prefix=/usr/bin/sudo


# MAX COMMANDS
# This specifies how many children processes may be spawned at any one
# time, essentially limiting the fork()s that occur.
# Default (0) is set to unlimited
# max_commands=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



# CONNECTION TIMEOUT
# This specifies the maximum number of seconds that the NRPE daemon will
# wait for a connection to be established before exiting. This is sometimes
# seen where a network problem stops the SSL being established even though
# all network sessions are connected. This causes the nrpe daemons to
# accumulate, eating system resources. Do not set this too low.

connection_timeout=300



# WEAK RANDOM SEED OPTION
# This directive allows you to use SSL even if your system does not have
# a /dev/random or /dev/urandom (on purpose or because the necessary patches
# were not applied). The random number generator will be seeded from a file
# which is either a file pointed to by the environment valiable $RANDFILE
# or $HOME/.rnd. If neither exists, the pseudo random number generator will
# be initialized and a warning will be issued.
# Values: 0=only seed from /dev/[u]random, 1=also seed from weak randomness

#allow_weak_random_seed=1



# SSL/TLS OPTIONS
# These directives allow you to specify how to use SSL/TLS.

# SSL VERSION
# This can be any of: SSLv2 (only use SSLv2), SSLv2+ (use any version),
#        SSLv3 (only use SSLv3), SSLv3+ (use SSLv3 or above), TLSv1 (only use
#        TLSv1), TLSv1+ (use TLSv1 or above), TLSv1.1 (only use TLSv1.1),
#        TLSv1.1+ (use TLSv1.1 or above), TLSv1.2 (only use TLSv1.2),
#        TLSv1.2+ (use TLSv1.2 or above)
# If an "or above" version is used, the best will be negotiated. So if both
# ends are able to do TLSv1.2 and use specify SSLv2, you will get TLSv1.2.
# If you are using openssl 1.1.0 or above, the SSLv2 options are not available.

#ssl_version=SSLv2+

# SSL USE ADH
# This is for backward compatibility and is DEPRECATED. Set to 1 to enable
# ADH or 2 to require ADH. 1 is currently the default but will be changed
# in a later version.

#ssl_use_adh=1

# SSL CIPHER LIST
# This lists which ciphers can be used. For backward compatibility, this
# defaults to 'ssl_cipher_list=ALL:!MD5:@STRENGTH' for < OpenSSL 1.1.0,
# and 'ssl_cipher_list=ALL:!MD5:@STRENGTH:@SECLEVEL=0' for OpenSSL 1.1.0 and
# greater. 

#ssl_cipher_list=ALL:!MD5:@STRENGTH
#ssl_cipher_list=ALL:!MD5:@STRENGTH:@SECLEVEL=0
#ssl_cipher_list=ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:!SSLv2:!LOW:!EXP:!RC4:!MD5:@STRENGTH

# SSL Certificate and Private Key Files

#ssl_cacert_file=/etc/ssl/servercerts/ca-cert.pem
#ssl_cert_file=/etc/ssl/servercerts/nagios-cert.pem
#ssl_privatekey_file=/etc/ssl/servercerts/nagios-key.pem

# SSL USE CLIENT CERTS
# This options determines client certificate usage.
# Values: 0 = Don't ask for or require client certificates (default)
#         1 = Ask for client certificates
#         2 = Require client certificates

#ssl_client_certs=0

# SSL LOGGING
# This option determines which SSL messages are send to syslog. OR values
# together to specify multiple options.

# Values: 0x00 (0)  = No additional logging (default)
#         0x01 (1)  = Log startup SSL/TLS parameters
#         0x02 (2)  = Log remote IP address
#         0x04 (4)  = Log SSL/TLS version of connections
#         0x08 (8)  = Log which cipher is being used for the connection
#         0x10 (16) = Log if client has a certificate
#         0x20 (32) = Log details of client's certificate if it has one
#         -1 or 0xff or 0x2f = All of the above

#ssl_logging=0x00



# NASTY METACHARACTERS
# This option allows you to override the list of characters that cannot
# be passed to the NRPE daemon.

# nasty_metachars="|`&><'\\[]{};\r\n"

# This option allows you to enable or disable logging error messages to the syslog facilities.
# If this option is not set, the error messages will be logged.
disable_syslog=0

# COMMAND DEFINITIONS
# Command definitions that this daemon will run.  Definitions
# are in the following format:
#
# command[<command_name>]=<command_line>
#
# When the daemon receives a request to return the results of <command_name>
# it will execute the command specified by the <command_line> 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...
# This is by far the most secure method of using NRPE

command[check_users]=@pluginsdir@/check_users -w 5 -c 10
command[check_load]=@pluginsdir@/check_load -r -w .15,.10,.05 -c .30,.25,.20
command[check_hda1]=@pluginsdir@/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -p /dev/hda1
command[check_zombie_procs]=@pluginsdir@/check_procs -w 5 -c 10 -s Z
command[check_total_procs]=@pluginsdir@/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'.  This poses a potential security risk, so
# make sure you read the SECURITY file before doing this.
