NAGIOS-NRPE(8) System Manager's Manual NAGIOS-NRPE(8)NAME
nrpe - Nagios Remote Plugin Executor - Server
SYNOPSIS
nagios-nrpe -c <config_file> <mode>
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this addon is to allow you to execute Nagios plugins on a remote host in as transparent a manner as possible.
This program runs as a background process on the remote host and processes command execution requests from the check_nrpe plugin on the
Nagios host.
OPTIONS
<config_file> = Name of config file to use
<mode> = One of the following two operating modes:
-i = Run as a service under inetd or xinetd
-d = Run as a standalone daemon
Notes: This program is designed to process requests from the check_nrpe plugin on the host(s) running Nagios. It can run as a service
under inetd or xinetd (read the docs for info on this), or as a standalone daemon. Once a request is received from an authorized host, NRPE
will execute the command/plugin (as defined in the config file) and return the plugin output and return code to the check_nrpe plugin.

Nagios::Plugin::Config - read nagios plugin .ini style config files
SYNOPSIS
# Read given nagios plugin config file
$Config = Nagios::Plugin::Config->read( '/etc/nagios/plugins.ini' );
# Search for and read default nagios plugin config file
$Config = Nagios::Plugin::Config->read();
# Access sections and properties (returns scalars or arrayrefs)
$rootproperty = $Config->{_}->{rootproperty};
$one = $Config->{section}->{one};
$Foo = $Config->{section}->{Foo};
DESCRIPTION
Nagios::Plugin::Config is a subclass of the excellent Config::Tiny, with the following changes:
o Repeated keys are allowed within sections, returning lists instead of scalars
o Write functionality has been removed i.e. access is read only
o Nagios::Plugin::Config searches for a default nagios plugins file if no explicit filename is given to "read()". The current standard
locations checked are:
/etc/nagios/plugins.ini
/usr/local/nagios/etc/plugins.ini
/usr/local/etc/nagios /etc/opt/nagios/plugins.ini
/etc/nagios-plugins.ini
/usr/local/etc/nagios-plugins.ini
/etc/opt/nagios-plugins.ini
To use a custom location, set a "NAGIOS_CONFIG_PATH" environment variable to the set of directories that should be checked. The first
"plugins.ini" or "nagios-plugins.ini" file found will be used.

Good morning folks,
I'm having a problem with check_disk with mounted 3TB volumes. It appears that the value being returned by stavfs is too large to be processed by the check_disk plugin. Does anyone know of an updated check_disk plugin?
