Ok, on one of my hosts that I am monitoring, I have installed xinetd and followed your instructions. My Nagios client is still giving me the UNKNOWN status and the same error message however.

On the server that you are checking, did you open up port 37 in the firewall?
Is the time service running on that host also?

What do you get if you run the check manually?

Code: Select all
[jdalrymple@localhost libexec]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_time -H remotehost


Please note that the path to your plugin may differ from mine as shown above...

I have not opened port 37 in the firewall. How would I go about doing that?

I'm assuming this is NOT RHEL or CentOS7:

Code: Select all
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 37 -j ACCEPT


If it is a EL7 system:

Code: Select all
firewall-cmd --add-port=37/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload

The EL7 commands didnt work. Ip tables command went through, but Nagios is still giving me the warning error message.

Please post the output from the Nagios server:

Code: Select all
[jdalrymple@localhost libexec]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_time -H remotehost


As mentioned, your paths may differ from mine.

Can you run an nmap from the nagios server to see if port 37 is actually open?
Code: Select all
nmap -p 37 10.25.173.205

I assume that I would have to download nmap software first?
