@Rajan,

Yes, if you’re using Nagios XI, it provides a user-friendly web interface that allows you to add remote servers easily.

In reply to Pratik.

@Pratik,

You must install Nagios-Plugins, NRPE, and Xinetd on a remote Linux host that you want to monitor under the Nagios server.

I got the following error while running the make all command.

# make all

./nrpe.c:287:9: warning: ‘ENGINE_load_builtin_engines’ is deprecated: 
Since OpenSSL 3.0 [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
  287 |         ENGINE_load_builtin_engines();
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I fixed it by using the latest version nrpe-4.1 from github:

$ wget https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nrpe/releases/download/nrpe-4.1.0/nrpe-4.1.0.tar.gz
