Nagios Support Forum

My firewall is dropping a ton of ip's scans. I have opened 5666 in my firewall, why would Nagios do what I would consider a port scan on the server that I have the client installed on? Service: tcpmux (tcp/1) (IPT DROP) - 2 packets Service: compressnet (tcp/3) (IPT DROP) - 2 packets Service: echo (t...

I think I've figured out that it was an input mistake on the remote server for the commands. I've corrected that and now it works from the monitor server's command line.

Currently, the YAST download I have is NRPE v2.12. Will this work with this version or will I need to upgrade first.
It's very convenient to use YAST for this so I would like to keep this process, if possible.

What I'm finding is that the command: Doesn't work: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H REMOTEIP -c check_load -a '-w 15,10,5 -c 30,20,10' Does work: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H REMOTEIP -c check_load My remote server doesn't like the attached arguments. I have even tried matching th...

Some of the file locations are different on SuSE:
SuSE:
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/

CentOS:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H REMOTEIP -c check_load -a '-w 15,10,5 -c 30,20,10'
/usr/local/nagios/libexec

It's 64 bit running on VMware 5.

I followed a previous post by mslansing (April 2012). My client is on a SuSE 11 server. The check_nrpe is already in commands.cfg file, I didn't have to add it. When I run /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H <<remost host>> -c check_load -a '-w 15,10,5 -c 30,20,10', the error I get: CHECK_NRPE: ...

Actually, I found something better. SuSE has Nagios in YAST.

I've installed nagios-nrpe, nagios-nsca-client, nagios-plugins, and nagios-plugins-nrpe. Now, I just have to find some documentation on how to configure it for my Nagios server so it can connect.

I would like to monitor a few SuSE linux servers. I see that the wizard does not include that distro. Any chance of adding it?
I would like to monitor the following logs:
/var/log/messages
/var/log/firewall
/var/log/warn
