Hello,

I was wondering why there is so many differences between the NRPE for Debian and for RedHat, 

Debian user : centreon-engine (?!)

RedHat user : nrpe

 

Debian config : 

/etc/nrpe/centreon-nrpe4.cfg
RedHat config :
/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg

By default, the only difference between these disto are the user used to run the binary

RedHat : nrpe
Debian : nagios

Theses new inconsistencies are painful to manage, perhaps the Debian package build by Centreon can set the same user as under RedHat

 

The last thing I don’t understand is why you asked to add this repository for Debian 

https://packages.sury.org/php

 

Which template needs PHP on a remote server monitored via NRPE ?
