[Nagiosplug-help] (Return code of 127 is out of bounds - plugin may be missing)

[Andy Shellam]

Hi Grant,

It's possible it may be the check_nrpe plugin on the Nagios host that is 
having trouble - i.e. what are the permissions on 
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe (replace /usr/local/nagios with the 
actual path to the plugins on your Nagios server.)

 From my own experience, when the error is on the NRPE-host side of 
things, Nagios returns the status as "unknown."

This is rather puzzling because, if I run the command from the command line from the Nagios host, I get good information back from the NRPE host.  But I get this error in the GUI.  I get this error for two different commands.  Here are the commands I'm checking in nrpe.cfg
