Example Playbook

This example installs NRPE and sets the allowed hosts. It is recommended to place nrpe_allowed_hosts in your project's host_vars, but the example below will work:

- hosts: monitoring-servers
  roles:
    - { role: wilmardo.nrpe-client, nrpe_allowed_hosts: [ 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.100 ] }
