Nagios notifications coming from NRPE client machine (NOT the Nagios server)

by

I have Nagios running on a Debian Jessie master server, with NRPE running on a Debian client. The root@localhost is getting a slew of emails – apparently originating from Nagios (NRPE) on the client, versus being sent by the Nagios master server.

As a troubleshooting step, I disabled all notifications on the Nagios master server – by disabling it via both the web interface and the nagios.cfg (via here).

But the notifications keep going to the user.

How can I disable this? I don’t see anything about notifications in the nrpe.cfg.

Answer

NRPE does not have a way to send notifications of any kind.

This means you installed Nagios on the “client” machine.
