NAME¶
nrpe-ng - the next generation Nagios Remote Plugin Executor
SYNOPSIS¶
nrpe-ng -c CONFIG_FILE [options]
DESCRIPTION¶
nrpe-ng is a rewrite of NRPE, the Nagios Remote Plugin Executor. It is a
combination of a daemon, nrpe-ng, and a client program,
check_nrpe_ng, which work in concert to run Nagios check scripts on
remote hosts. This man page is for the daemon component that runs on the hosts
on which you wish to run the check programs.
OPTIONS¶
This program supports the following options:
- -h
- Show a summary of the available command-line options.
- -v
- Display the program's version number and exit.
- --debug
- Enable debugging mode, which produces much more verbose logging but
prevents the program from logging to syslog.
- --c CONFIG_FILE, --config CONFIG_FILE
- Specify the configuraiton file to use when running the daemon. This option
is required.
- -d, --daemon
- Fork the program and continue running in the background as a daemon. This
mode is the default, so neither of these options need to be given to gain
this behaviour.
- -f
- Do not fork into the background and remain in the foreground. This
option is the opposite of -d or --daemon, and may be useful
for debugging.
