CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 60 seconds.

Post by gdolidze »

I am trying to setup a nagios test server
I already have a master nagios server running and trying to get another server up to monitor the same clients but i keep getting
CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 60 seconds.

I checked the firewall and the ports, anyone know how to fix this issue.

Have you referred to the NRPE troubleshooting document for this error yet (section IV)?

Ya I looked at that document.
on the main nagios server all services are running fine
On the test server all the service get the timeout.

Also the localhost is fine, the clients that i am trying to monitor on both server that are giving me the issue.
could there be some kind of conflict.

# default: on
n
# description: NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor)
service nrpe
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
port = 5666
wait = no
user = nagios
group = nagios
server = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe
server_args = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
only_from =
}

What can the client have that blocks the test server but not the main on?
