nrpe - log_on_failure options
Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2018 9:23 am
Can someone point me to information on how log_on_failure works and what options there might be for it?
Every piece of documentation which I see uses this line:
log_on_failure += USERID
But I don't know what that means, especially the USERID part.
The underlying reason I'm looking into this is that I am running into times when nrpe loses connection with my Nagios server and it seems to be related in some way to authentication on the server itself. I don't follow how authentication errors can effect NRPE connections except, perhaps, though this log_on_failure piece of the puzzle.
Anyone have ideas?
