Re: NRPE is not connecting via Nagios site

Hello dirhea , I was able to reproduce the error. The -c flag was likely swapped with -C , which is used to specify a client certificate. Double check your configs and make sure the check commands are defined like the following (with the lowercase c): define command { command_name check_nrpe command...

Re: NRPE is not connecting via Nagios site

dirhea , The reason I ask is that the guide does not specify which compiler or SSL library to use, but since you are on Ubuntu, it's probably GCC and OpenSSL. Just to verify, will you run the following and let me know what it says. dpkg -l | grep libssl-dev dpkg -l | grep gcc Also, just to double c...

Re: NRPE is not connecting via Nagios site

Hello @dirhea,

I am looking into reproducing this and I have a couple of questions.
- What compiler did you use?
- What SSL headers and libraries did you use?
- What distros are you using?

Thanks,
- Emmett

Re: Network Status Map Empty after Upgrade to 2026R1.3

Hello nhood , 1.3.1 was a quick hotfix to fix some upstream packaging issues and doesn't include the fix that I gave you. With how XI's upgrades work, the fix in the PHP file was likely overwritten. Reapplying it should resolve the issue once again. I'm sorry for any inconvenience and please let me ...

Re: NRPE Check Returning “Connection Refused” After Recent Server Update

Hello, When troubleshooting NRPE, it is often helpful to edit the NRPE config file and change debug=0 to debug=1. After restarting NRPE, this will add more debugging information to the log files. Unless otherwise specified in nrpe.cfg, any logs will be written to syslog. What version of NRPE is on t...

Re: NRPE commands returning “UNKNOWN” after NSClient++ upgrade

Hello,

I would recommend upgrading to a more recent version of NSClient++. There have been many bugfixes and patches since 0.5.x that might help with this issue.

Also, what version of check_nrpe is being used?

Re: function similar to Healthchecks.io?

To add onto what @cdietsch said, freshness checks are helpful means of triggering alerts if expected passive checks are missing. Here is the documentation. This ensures that you still get alerted when a cronjob fails to run.

Re: NagVis Maps Not Displaying Host Names

Hi @rj-admin2,

I have attached updated CSS that should fix the legibility issues. To use them, simply unzip them and place the two files in /usr/local/nagvis/share/userfiles/templates/, overwriting the existing CSS files.

Let me know if you have anything else.
