That's a pretty old version of check_nrpe, please upgrade to the latest and try again:

Code: Select all

I downloaded the newest version per your link

Will I have to worry about any other services defined that use nrpe?

Will the services I already have defined still work?

Really do not want to cause a major issue at this point

No one has gotten back on my last post with the nsclient ini files

I still believe that I have a config issue still in Nagios or the nsclient.ini

[rkennedy]

We are currently working through the issue at hand with your NRPE version which can affect your NSClient++ configuration file. Have you upgraded to the latest version and tested it out yet?

It should be backwards compatible as long as they're compiled the same way.

[me@work55]

Not yet

But no one on here has replied about the newest nsclient.ini files I posted.


Thanks

The problem is actually with the syntax, or NSClient++ - Nagios is only presenting the information. You may have better luck creating a thread over here directly - https://forums.nsclient.org/

If you try another version, does it work successfully? check_eventlog appears to be the newer version at this point, while checkeventlog is deprecated. This page may help you out - https://docs.nsclient.org/reference/win ... kEventLog/

Have you taken a chance to create a post on their forums? Your best bet for support is going to be the products forums.

From what I can tell, you posted your configuration files and @ssax made a suggestion. I'm not sure what you're referring to at this point.

[me@work55]

I tried posting on that site and never get a responce

The file format between the 4.1.x and the 4.3.x nsclient.ini files are the same so you can stop the nsclient++ service on the Windows system, replace it with the old one and start it up.
That should work for your check.

[me@work55]

Nope that did not work

[tgriep]

If you are using the nsclient.ini file from your earlier post, edit it and under this section

Code: Select all

[/settings/default]

Remove this line

Code: Select all

allowed ciphers = ADH

Then under this section
put the following.

Code: Select all

[/settings/NRPE/server]

put the following if it doesn't exist.

Code: Select all

ssl options = 
verify mode = none
insecure = true
allow arguments = true
allow nasty characters = true
use ssl = 1
port = 5666
extended response = 0

Save the file and restart the NSClient++ service.
If you still have errors, post the nsclient.log file so we can view it.
