Using NRPE to monitor remote linux server -- IP address null
Posted: Sun Oct 21, 2018 4:00 pm
Fresh install of 4.4.2 with NRPE plugin to monitor a remote linux server which I called orangepione and all 5 checks show orange (unknown) because nagios is timing out after 30 seconds and I am trying to figure out why. Event log shows this:
[10-21-2018 20:55:41] wproc: host=orangepione; service=(null);
I set up NRPE logging and the last few lines of the nrpe.log file show this:
[1540087467] INFO: SSL/TLS initialized. All network traffic will be encrypted.
[1540087467] Starting up daemon
[1540087467] SETUP_WAIT_CONN FOR: IPv4 address: 0.0.0.0 ((null))
[1540087467] Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 5666.
[1540087467] SETUP_WAIT_CONN FOR: IPv4 address: :: ((null))
[1540087467] Server listening on :: port 5666.
[1540087467] Listening for connections on port 5666
[1540087467] Allowing connections from: 69.123.xxx.xxx
So it is seeing my IP of 69.123.xxx.xxx, why it is saying service (null) and timing out.
