Re: nrpe error

I've NRPE client and NRPE plugin at 4.0.3 With "debug" on, it seems it maybe related to the packet/payload size. I isolated this to a specific command output which provide over 6K DB records. As per documentation, the packet size in v3/v4 is a variable up to 64K. Does this mean the command...

Thank you!

Yes, the wrapper idea was the one I ended up doing.

Re: check_nrpe socket timeout

I'm looking for a alternative to throw a message instead of "socket_timeout" message which doesn't make sense to a layman. It is presumed that there is a problem at the other end the test isn't working.

Thanks

check_nrpe socket timeout

Hello,

If check_nrpe times out after whatever the period is defined, I want to show a message different that the usual socket timeout message.
The socket timeout message usually could be ignored easily which I'm trying to avoid.

Has anyone done this before in a reliable way?

Thanks

NRPE binary and conf file owner and permissions

Hello,

The NRPE client side consideration from the security perspective.

The binary and the conf file is supposed to owned by "root". Is that correct?

I understand the binary should be run as non-root user.

Thanks

Re: NRPE without xinetd?

Ok since I wanted to make use the TCP wrapper, I had hosts updated in the /etc/hosts.allow. I also had the "allowed_hosts" setting which was making NRPE to look as a first option. Per readme in the cfg it is supposed to ignore this setting but it wasn't. After commenting out the setting, i...

Re: NRPE without xinetd?

/etc/hosts.*. files should be supported in that case I think. I just tried adding a few hosts in /etc/hosts.allow but nrpe daemon as a systemd service ( not running under xinetd) says it is not allowed to talk to us.

NRPE without xinetd?

Hello,

In NRPE 3.2.1, I see it has "TCP Wrapper Available". In this case, there is no need of xinetd right? If that's right, how does NRPE provide TCP wrapper support of its own?

Please advise.

Thanks
