Monitoring Remote Server
Posted: Wed Aug 07, 2019 2:07 pm
Hello again! This time I have a question on monitoring services on a remote host.
I made sure to install the NRPE plugin for Nagios, and I'm pretty sure that I have the local .cfg file set up right on the Nagios server. I installed the NSclient++ for the server and edited the nsclient.ini to allow the Nagios server as an accepted host. Since this is still a test environment I didn't enable any ssh security for the NSclient++ which means that it shouldn't have to use keys. The Nagios server still can't communicate with any of the host services including the NSclient++ Version check. In the configuration file for the monitored server on the Nagios server it is trying to check with check_nt! command. Could this be the issue or is it something else?
If I need to post the configuration files I will.
