Nagios Support Forum

Hi ,

I am getting below NRPE scoket timeout error when i execute command from Nagios server , however when i run the same command manually on the server i get a output. what should i do to fix this ?

Command i am running from nagios server

[nagios@nagios libexec]$ ./check_nrpe -H 1xxx1 -c check_cpu_util -a 80 70 4 -p 5666 -t 120
CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.

Command i am running on the server end

/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_cpu_util.sh -w 80 -c 70 -i 4
OK: CPU UTILIZATION IS 2 %

Is the port 5666 open? Run the following command on the nagios server and show us the output:
What is the output of the following command?
Also, can you show us the "check_cpu_util" command definition?

Hi ,

5666 port is open and also i am getting check_nrpe version from nagios . check_cpu_util is a custom script and it is working on all other servers except on this server.

Does your script require root permissions? If so, does the NRPE server have the proper sudoers rules or permissions on the script? Compare this server against the other working servers.

ok thank you , i will check

Any word on this?
