Nagios Support Forum

OK, I've found the answer to my own question, just for anyone else coming along with the same problem. Drill through the Nagios XI GUI to: Core Config Manager -> Tools -> Bulk Modifications -> Change A Single Config Option there you can select the config option you'd like to change (in my case max_c...

OK, I had turned on debug_leve=1, so I went ahead and also changed the log_external_commands=1. I see the command recorded without error, but I think you got to the real gist of the problem with your statement One thing to note, these external commands are runtime commands and will take the top prec...

Yes, I was using the shell script, copied from the website. I just temporarily modified it to print to the screen whatever it was sending to the FIFO.

I used th...

For anyone else coming across this, let me note that I also changed the SMF startup script for nrpe to use the '-n' command-line option on the Solaris host.

Oddly, unlike the Linux monitoring wizard, the Solaris monitoring wizard does not have a switch to select unencrypted monitoring.

In order to build nrpe with ssl on solaris, you will need the openssl headers before you compile nrpe/plugins. You can specify "-n" in the check to ignore encryption. Copy the command in XI and add "-n" to the command line. Use the copied/renamed command for your solaris checks....
