Connection refused Error

Post by wipro-cloud-services »

Hi ,

I have configured a windows client to the Nagios server by installing NSC++ client.
Client got configured properly and the below listed performance details where with status "OK"
CPU Usage
Drive C: Disk Usage
Memory Usage
Ping
Uptime
Average

1. But from 30th June id night it is giving the below Error :

Notification Type: PROBLEM

Service: CPU Usage
Host: Creative service project tracking
Address: 10.73.38.80
State: CRITICAL
Info:
Connection refused
Date/Time: 2011-06-30 04:22:15

Nagios URL: http://ec2-184-73-242-18.compute-1.amaz ... /nagiosxi/


Please let me know why this sudden error has occurred .I tried to debug the issue ,bu t could not understand the reason of why this happened .I Manually logged in to the client and checked the CPU and Memory .Usage was a minimal.



2. Also i tried deleting the Alerts for a single host which was sending mails .Even after disabling the alert was continuously sending mails . Please let me know where can i change the configuration for disabling the Alerts or notifications for the host.


please Guide me ASAP

You can disable notifications by either Acknowledging a host problem, or by accessing the host details, and there's a link to "Disable Notifications." We had an major bug in the release 2011R1.4 that created this kind of issue. If you're using 1.4 we recommend upgrading to 1.5 immediately to correct the problem.

Renuka,

Connection refused usually means a firewall is blocking or the nsc.ini isn't configured properly. Are you aware of a firewall change on that particular host?

Does the nsclient.log show anything (its in the same directory that NSClient++ is installed in.)? Did the Windows firewall get activated? Do the ports that your checking from the Nagios XI box and the port open on the firewall and the port in the nsc.ini match?

To stop alerts from that particular host it would be probably be quickest to disable Alerts. I'm not sure which command you issued, but try this:

Home (Top Tab) > Host Details (Left Side Tab) > Host you want to change > Disable Notifcations
