CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake

[pradeepanan]

Hi All ,

I am running NRPE version 2.7 on Fedora 8 (I know its ancient :/ ) . My master is on 2.15, i am finding difficult to communicate master and system. I have checked nrpe.cfg on remote host where "allowed host" is configured with source IP. Checked firewall aswell. But still getting "CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake".

Is there version compatability issue? I am not sure what else to think. Can someone guide me on this?

Thanks in Advance
Pradeep

I'm unaware of compatibility issues but since Fedora 8 was released in 2007 you certainly can't rule it out.Try the following (sounds like you've already checked some of these items, but it can't hurt to double check)

1) run through t-shooting doc https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... utions.pdf

2) on the client machine please runnetstat -anp|grep 5666, and on the Nagios machine run nmap ipofclientmachine - post both results back here.

Thanks for the response. I resolved it. For some reason that nrpe config doesnt support network address. So i tried specific addresses and it worked.
