It doesn't look like NRPE is compiled - did you compile it yet?

Here's a document that explains how to configure / compile NRPE -
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

It is complied because I'm monitorig the check_total_procs service with check_nrpe of this remote host

[rkennedy]

Check out this configuration file, can you post it for us to review?

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg

/usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg

There are the two nrpe.cnf files, the nrpe.cfg nagios host and the nrpe.cfg remote host.

[rkennedy]

Are you running NRPE standalone, or through xinetd?

Were those files found on the Nagios machine, or the client machine?

The command that needs to be added to the proper config file is -

Code: Select all

command[check_mailq]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mailq -w 15 -c 20

In nagios machine I have two files about nrpe, the first one is on the /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg.

And the second one is on /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe, and the contain of that file is what I have puted on the screenshot.

This is getting a bit confusing, the only one we need to modify at this point is the remote (client machine) one.

Please post the output of these two commands -

Code: Select all

cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
cat /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe

I have modified the /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg file, in which I have defined the check_mailq command and I have allowed the nagios host ip.

In the /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe, What I have to modify? Only to add the nagios ip host, in this case "192.168.0.4" I attach a screenshot with the content of the file.

When I finish of modify that file, Have I to do a "service nrpe restart"?

You may have to restart xinetd to get the new configuration to apply. Give the following a try:

Code: Select all

service xinetd restart

Also, I'm interested in the following:

Code: Select all

grep nrpe /etc/services
ps -ef | egrep "xinetd|nrpe"

That looks all right.

You may have to restart xinetd to get the new configuration to apply.

After you did this step, did the problem get resolved?
