I have installed iCinga and nrpe in same machine. I am using nrpe for monitor many linux machine, so I installed nrpe locally also.
When I start my nrep locally service nrpe start it sows error like in /var/log/messages

I have google it that issue, and find the 5666 port usage

I I have changed /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg port to 56666 from 5666.
How can I configure different port in host configuration(different port for different host) in icinga2 server to monitor machines with nrpe running in different ports?
Is this right to change port? Or any other way to do this? Please correct me if I did anything wrong?

Answer 1

In each host definition add:
vars.nrpe_port = <host_nrpe_port>
Ref: docs.icinga.org

Answer 2

Added port in command.conf file like this,
object CheckCommand "check-nrpe" {
import "plugin-check-command"
command = ["/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe"]
"-p" ="56666"
"-H" ="$host$"
"-c" = "$nrpe_command$"
"-a" = $nrpe_arguments$"
}
"-p" ="56666" Works for me!!
EDIT:
Or we can pass like arguments from host configuration ( keeping port number in host configuration like #7171u answer) .
