Tripp Lite B096-016, 93-2879 Enable Nrpe monitoring, Select System Nagios and check Nrpe Enabled

10.3.2 Enable NRPE monitoring

Enabling NRPE allows you to execute plug-ins (such as check_tcp and check_ping) on the remote Console Server to monitor serial or network attached remote servers. This will offload CPU load from the upstream Nagios monitoring machine which is especially valuable if you are monitoring hundreds or thousands of hosts. To enable NRPE:

Select System: Nagios and check NRPE Enabled

Enter the details for the user connection to the upstream Nagios monitoring server. Again, refer to the sample Nagios configuration example below for details of configuring specific NRPE checks

By default, the Console Server will accept a connection between the upstream Nagios monitoring server and the NRPE server with SSL encryption, without SSL, or tunneled through SSH. The security for the connection is configured at the Nagios server.
