# PORT NUMBER
# Port number we should wait for connections on.

# SERVER ADDRESS
# Address that nrpe should bind to in case there are more than one interface
# and you do not want nrpe to bind on all interfaces.

#server_address=192.168.1.1

# ALLOWED HOST ADDRESSES
# This is a comma-delimited list of IP address of hosts that are allowed
# to talk to the NRPE daemon.
#
# NOTE: The daemon only does rudimentary checking of the client’s IP
# address.

# COMMAND ARGUMENT PROCESSING
# This option determines whether or not the NRPE_NT service will allow clients
# to specify arguments to commands that are executed
# *** ENABLING THIS OPTION IS A SECURITY RISK! ***
#
# Values: 0=do not allow arguments, 1=allow command arguments

dont_blame_nrpe=0

# DEBUGGING OPTION
# This option determines whether or not debugging messages are logged to the
# eventlog.
# Values: 0=debugging off, 1=debugging on

debug=1

# COMMAND TIMEOUT
# This specifies the maximum number of seconds that the NRPE_NT service will
# allow plugins to finish executing before killing them off.

command_timeout=30

# INCLUDE CONFIG FILE
# This directive allows you to include definitions from an external config file.

#include=<somefile.cfg>

# INCLUDE CONFIG DIRECTORY
# This directive allows you to include definitions from config files (with a
# .cfg extension) in one or more directories (with recursion).
#NOTE: This option is currently ignored with NRPE_NT!
#include_dir=<somedirectory>
#include_dir=<someotherdirectory>

# LOGLEVEL / NRPE_NT only
# severity of events logged to nrpe_nt.log if debug = 1
# Useful Values:
# 1: Log Critical
# 4: Log Errors (Default)
# 6: Log Informational
# 7: Log Debug
loglevel=4

# USE_WIN_METACHARS / NRPE_NT only
# use NASTY_METACHARS_WIN, allow \ and ” to allow easier passing of
# pathnames as parameter
# Values: 0=use default NASTY_METACHARS definition, 1=use relaxed NASTY_METACHARS_WIN definition
use_win_metachars=1

# RRD: my commands

# The values for options c and w indicate the free space that is left
