10. Nagios Integration 10.2.2 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 the CPU from the upstream Nagios monitoring machine, which is especially valuable if monitoring hundreds or thousands of hosts. To enable NRPE: • Select System: Nagios and check NRPE Enabled. • Enter the user details to connect the upstream Nagios monitoring server. 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. 186
