CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

Post by tomtom »

We are getting this error lately for a few service checks on some of our hosts. They are pingable...I went through the nrpe.cfg file to make sure it has the correct ip listed for allowed hosts, which it's showing "allowed_hosts=16.70.150.177,127.0.0.1". A couple didn't have this entry just the 127.0.0.1 so I added it and restarted the nrpe service, but it's still throwing the same error. Is there something else I'm missing?

Thanks in advance!

I'm sure you're running nrpe via xinetd, you need to define these in /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe AND this is a space separated list:

Code: Select all

only_from	= 16.70.150.177 127.0.0.1
Then:

Code: Select all

service xinetd restart
Does this help?
