Need help with NRPE in nagiosXI:

[lmiltchev]

Run the following two commands on the client (remote box) and show us the output:

Code: Select all

ps axuw | grep nrpe
netstat -at | grep nrpe

How did you install NRPE (from repo, using our installer, etc.)?

Also, test your check from the command line (not in the CCM) from the Nagios XI server.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H <client ip> -t 60 -c check_mountpoints

If it fails, run the commands below and show us the output:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H <client ip>
nmap <client ip> -p 5666

Hello,

It could be a permission problem for the check_mountpoints plugin. Try running the following to change the permission and owner of the file to see if that resolves it for you.

Code: Select all

chown nagios.nagios /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_mountpoints
chmod a+rx /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_mountpoints

I have tried modifying the permission but i'm getting the same error message while executing in CCM and from nagios server.
Is this a problem with ubuntu machine, the same plugin works well in Centos.

Please advise.

Run the following command on the remote Ubuntu box and show us the output:

Code: Select all

su nagios -c '/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_mountpoints -A'

I believe you need to have the "utils.sh" file present in the "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/" directory. Can you verify that you have it on the Ubuntu box. You may have it on the CentOS machine but not on the Ubuntu one...

Code: Select all

ls -la /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/ | grep utils
