Unable to submit commands, schedule new checks etc

Post by WillemDH »

Today I had an issue where I was unable to schedule immediate checks, acknowledge problems, submit OK results. After a reboot of the server, the problem was solved, but I was wondering what could have caused this and what I can do to solve this without a reboot of the server.

EDIT: Als saw a few times today services giving me this: CHECK_NRPE: Error receiving data from daemon.

Next time check permissions on the external commands file. What messes them up, I don't know. Has happened to me a couple times.

We'll go ahead and close this thread for now, if that fixes your issue.
