Hi, thanks for reporting this. Does the NRPE daemon have logging enabled on this system? If so, does it have any error messages?

As an aside, for newer distributions I'd recommend using a newer agent like NCPA. If/when we do future releases of NRPE, it will mostly be for handling security issues in legacy environments.

This looks to be a problem reported in redhat bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1898469

Problem is, that for network.target not always all interfaces are up. This is done in network-online.target.

Also there is another issue reported against nrpe.service file:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1806659

Can you please apply both changes upstream?
Let me know, if you need a patch.
Thank you.
