NRPE是Nagios的一个功能扩展，它可在远程Linux/Unix主机上执行插件程序。通过在远程服务器上安装NRPE插件及Nagios插件程序来向Nagios监控平台提供该服务器的本地情况，如CPU负载，内存使用，磁盘使用等。这里将Nagios监控端称为Nagios服务器端，而将远程被监控的主机称为Nagios客户端。
Nagios监控远程主机的方法有多种，其方式包括SNMP，NRPE,SSH,NCSA等。这里介绍其通过NRPE监控远程Linux主机的方式。
NRPE（Nagios Remote Plugin Executor）是用于在远端服务器上运行监测命令的守护进程，它用于让Nagios监控端基于安装的方式触发远端主机上的检测命令，并将检测结果返回给监控端。而其执行的开销远低于基于SSH的检测方式，而且检测过程不需要远程主机上的系统账号信息，其安全性也高于SSH的检测方式。
NRPE有两部分组成
check_nrpe插件：位于监控主机上
nrpe daemon：运行在远程主机上，通常是被监控端agent
注意：nrpe daemon需要Nagios-plugins插件的支持，否则daemon不能做任何监控
当Nagios需要监控某个远程Linux主机的服务或者资源情况时：
首先：Nagios会运行check_nrpe这个插件，告诉它要检查什么；
其次：check_nrpe插件会连接到远程的NRPE daemon，所用的方式是SSL；
然后：NRPE daemon 会运行相应的Nagios插件来执行检查；
最后：NRPE daemon 将检查的结果返回给check_nrpe 插件，插件将其递交给nagios做处理。

#安装完成后，会在Nagios安装目录的libexec下生成check_nrpe的插件，如下所示：
[root@test_db2 nagios]# ll /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe
-rwxrwxr-x 1 nagios nagios 76777 Jun 2523:53 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe
[root@test_db2 nagios]#
检测报错：
[root@test_db2 libexec]# ./check_nrpe -H192.168.121.210
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSLhandshake.
[root@test_db2 libexec]#
去客户端在allowed_hosts中添加监控端IP地址
[root@localhost ~]# vim/usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1,192.168.121.211
在mysql服务器上，报错：

添加mysql账号：

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.05 sec)

客户端自己检测：

在nagios.cfg里面配置
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/servers.cfg
同时添加新的主机或者服务配置cfg文件，都需要在nagios.cfg里面配置一下，然后重启nagios才能生效，如下所示：
[root@test_db2 nagios]# grep -v '^#'/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg |sed '/^$/d' |grep cfg_file
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/commands.cfg
