CHECK_NRPE Socket timeout after n seconds
Posted: Wed Jun 13, 2018 12:03 pm
I have a nagios server on centos 7 and I am trying to monitor a remote windows host that has NSClient ++ installed.
I am able to use check_nt from the nagios server but when I use check_nrpe I get "CHECK_NRPE STATE CRITICAL: Socket timeout after 10 seconds."
Below is the output for few commands from the nagios server.
./check_nt -H <ipaddress of remote host> -p 12489 -v CLIENTVERSION
NSClient++ 0.4.4.23 2016-04-05
./check_nrpe -H <ipaddress of remote host>
CHECK_NRPE STATE CRITICAL: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.
(I also tried passing a higher timeout and still the same kind of error)
But if I run the check_nrpe with -V I get the below:
./check_nrpe -H <ipaddress of remote host> -V

I get the "CHECK_NRPE STATE CRITICAL: Socket timeout after 10 seconds." passing any command using the -c for check_nrpe. Can someone please help me with this issue so that I can monitor the remote window host using check_nrpe for some external scripts?
(Note: I am able to use check_nrpe from the nagios server to other remote linux hosts. I have issue only with windows hosts.The NRPEServer module is enabled on the remote windows host)
