Hi All,

Attempting to run "barman check all --nagios" from nrpe I hit the problem that it needs to be run as the barman user or root.

What's the canonical way to have nrpe run "barman check all"?

Try sudo.

Anyway, interesting parameter "--nagios" is missing in documentation, if i read it correctly.

Hi Chris,

I use it on a Debian 8 with Icinga.

Add a line like this (using visudo) in /etc/sudoers

nagios ALL= NOPASSWD:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/icinga_check_barman_pg1

in the nrpe.cfg

# check barman on pg1

command[check_barman_pg1]=sudo /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/./icinga_check_barman_pg1

define a service on Icinga like this

check_command check_nrpe_1arg!check_barman_pg1

At present NRPE 2.15 with command args was disabled because considered a security risk.
