NRPE Service Not Starting

[amitgupta19]

I have recently installed the NRPE Agent on a Linux server.
But the service is not coming up.
Any idea where to check and what needs to be checked.

What does the service status show?

what OS and version is the server?

What did you perform to install NRPE?

[amitgupta19]

Please find here with the screenshot

Server version is Linux 7.7

Please find attached the document.

This document does not install NRPE in the locations you show in the service status

Are you sure you didn't also try to install NRPE from a package repository such as yum?

what is the output of the following

Code: Select all

netstat -nlp|grep 5666
service xinetd status

[amitgupta19]

As i said NRPE was installed using the attached document.

Please find attached the Output of the command.

It looks like it is running properly under xinetd

From your previous screenshot you were showing the output of a nrpe service which this document wouldn't create, nor would it put the binaries in the location that service is showing, which led me to believe you (or another person with access to this server) installed NRPE from a package as well (RPM or deb package).

configuration file for nrpe running under this setup is /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg and you would need to reload xinetd after making changes

Code: Select all

systemctl restart xinetd

what changes should i make and where?

That depends, what are you trying to accomplish?

Are you getting an error connecting to this server from your Nagios server?
