AIX NRPE

[[email protected]]

I followed the instructions for installing NRPE on AIX and have modified and I get the error:

CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

I have set allowed_hosts in /=127.0.0.1,172.16.24.51 on client to allow NAGIOSXI server but still having issues.

Also have # cat /etc/services|grep nrpe
nrpe 5666/tcp #nrpe


phxsarpt.grhc.local

Any help on the AIX side would be appreciated. I looked in the forums and found nothing with answers.

Please try passing one of those check commands with the "-n" flag, you may not have compiled with SSL support.

That looks good:

[root@localhost ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -n -H phxsarpt
NRPE v2.12

How do I configure the server to use NRPE and not SSL to check clients?

[slansing]

Based on what instructions you followed, you either manually compiled it, used an install script, or used a static binary. Can you link me to what you used to install NRPE? Then I can let you know what to do on the agent's end. For the time being, you can keep passing -n in your commands to at least get checks returning while we work on this.

I used this document:

Those are binaries - they must have been compiled without ssl support.

[slansing]

What version of AIX is this, you may have to remove those binaries, and compile from the NRPE source with SSL support.

AIX 7.1.3.3.

I cannot seem to find a Monitoring Wizard or client for AIX 7.x.x

[abrist]

Yeah, you will need to hunt down the nrpe dependencies and then compile nrpe from source to get ssl to work.

I am using SSH monitoring for AIX now. Works Great!!!
