CHECK_NRPE: Invalid packet type received from server.

Post by DrewDennis »

Hey guys and gals - I just started getting this error from 2 of my SQL cluster nodes after a reboot. Not sure why. the check is ::
rmg_clustererror = check_eventlog "scan-range=-360m" "truncate-message=1023" "file=system" "warn=none" "crit=count>0" "filter=(level='error' AND source='Microsoft-Windows-FailoverClustering')"


This is configured in my nsclient.ini file on each of the cluster nodes. Any input is appreciated!

-Drew

Hello, @DrewDennis. Did you update the XI server recently? Please find the check_nrpe command and add -2 to force version 2 packets, and then Apply Configuration:

No - It's a "stock" install we did a few weeks ago with the latest build. There is an update but it would not install so we rolled back. I'll try changing the nrpe and report back... THanks!

Update - added -2 to the check_nrpe command. No change.
