I get the following on all my Nagios servers all the time:
Aug 7 18:36:18 cocsm2mlnag001 nrpe[32582]: Error: Could not complete SSL handshake. 5
Aug 7 18:37:08 cocsm2mlnag001 nrpe[575]: Error: Could not complete SSL handshake. 5

Aug 7 18:42:08 cocsm2mlnag001 nrpe[3388]: Error: Could not complete SSL handshake. 5
Aug 7 18:46:18 cocsm2mlnag001 nrpe[6048]: Error: Could not complete SSL handshake. 5

Aug 7 18:51:18 cocsm2mlnag001 nrpe[8786]: Error: Could not complete SSL handshake. 5
Aug 7 18:52:08 cocsm2mlnag001 nrpe[9236]: Error: Could not complete SSL handshake. 5
Obviously, its nrpe, and according to the troubleshooting guide NRPE-Troubleshooting-and-Common-Solutions.pdf it means I'm missing an allowed host in /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe.
Here's an nrpe file from one of the Nagios servers. I use the same file on each server whether its a Nagios server or a monitored server.
[root@cocsm2mlnag001 ~]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
# default: on
# 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_success =
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
only_from = 127.0.0.1 10.133.134.84 10.133.134.85 10.136.243.84 10.136.243.85
}
I'd guess its some monitored server(s) but there's no indication of which or alerts. I've looked at the nrpe file on the servers and it looks fine...
Any clues, or am I headed in the wrong (or right) direction?
Thanks!

Re: Error: Could not complete SSL handshake
My first suggestion is to make sure you're even launching using inetd and not just running as a daemon.
If you get back something like
(the -d at the end being the important part)
it means you're running as standalone daemon, in which case "allowed_hosts" in nrpe.cfg is what matters, not only_from in your inetd configuration.
Code: Select all
ps -ef | grep nrpeCode: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -c nrpe.cfg -dit means you're running as standalone daemon, in which case "allowed_hosts" in nrpe.cfg is what matters, not only_from in your inetd configuration.
Re: Error: Could not complete SSL handshake
It seems that w/ 100 hosts and the frequency of the error, the problem isn't that its running differently than I expect.

Re: Error: Could not complete SSL handshake
I think I mostly misunderstood the question/symptom.
Typically when you're check_nrpe localhosting and you see that error it's because you're resolving IPv6. The simple solution is to make sure to use 127.0.0.1 for your hostaddress, the more convoluted being disable IPv6. I've never tried a v6 IP in xinetd, although I'm (somewhat) sure that would work too?

Re: Error: Could not complete SSL handshake
IPv6 should be disabled, but maybe I need to look into how disabled it actually is.
I have no localhost hosts defined in Nagios. That is, in my list of servers to monitor, there are none named localhost or using 127.0.0.1.
The servers whose syslog is logging this are the nagios servers, not the servers nagios is monitoring. That said, nagios monitors itself (txslm2mlnag001 is monitoring txslm2mlnag001). Maybe that's the problem? Additionally, txslm2mlnag001 monitors cocsm2mlnag001, located in another state.
I have 2 sites, each w/ 2 nagios servers--a primary and failover. I'm hoping to get rid of the failovers after switching to vmware FT.
My understanding is that nagios (or nrpe) on the nagios server talks to nrpe on a remote server telling it to run checks periodically. I guessed a remote couldn't be reached, but maybe I need a lesson in exactly how nagios tells the remote agent to run a check...

Re: Error: Could not complete SSL handshake
Run the following commands on all of your Nagios XI servers and show the output:
Code: Select all
hostname
netstat -an | grep 5666
grep only_from /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpeBe sure to check out our Knowledgebase for helpful articles and solutions!

Usage: nrpe [-n] -c <config_file> [-4|-6] <mode>
Options:
-n = Do not use SSL
<config_file> = Name of config file to use
-4 = use ipv4 only
-6 = use ipv6 only
<mode> = One of the following operating modes:
-i = Run as a service under inetd or xinetd
-d = Run as a standalone daemon
-d -s = Run as a subsystem under AIX
Notes:
This program is designed to process requests from the check_nrpe
plugin on the host(s) running Nagios. It can run as a service
under inetd or xinetd (read the docs for info on this), or as a
standalone daemon. Once a request is received from an authorized
host, NRPE will execute the command/plugin (as defined in the
config file) and return the plugin output and return code to the
check_nrpe plugin.

Re: Error: Could not complete SSL handshake
I've cross checked all that information and it looks correct.
Do you have a Nagios test & dev server that is possibly not one of these IP Addresses?
My question is, on each Nagios server, in the tactical overview, do you see any services that are in a critical or unknown state that reflect this error message?
We can turn on NRPE debugging to collect more information.
Edit the file:
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
Define
debug=1
(it will currently be debug=0)
Save the file and
Now we need to add an option to the rsyslog server so it processes debug messages
Edit the file:
/etc/rsyslogd.conf
Find /var/log/messages
The line in the config file will look like:
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages
We need to add the following to the line:
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none;daemon.debug /var/log/messages
Save the file and
Now there should be more information logged in /var/log/messages
Do you have a Nagios test & dev server that is possibly not one of these IP Addresses?
From my understanding, these events are when incoming NRPE requests do not succeed. So it has to be one of the other Nagios servers contacting this nagios server and for some reason isn't allowed.gormank wrote:I get the following on all my Nagios servers all the time:

I'd guess its some monitored server(s) but there's no indication of which or alerts. I've looked at the nrpe file on the servers and it looks fine...

Re: Error: Could not complete SSL handshake
There are no alerts about SSL handshake or anything else on any of the 4 Nagios servers.
Unfortunately, I have no test servers at this time.
Adding the debug just adds the SSL/TLS line to the log.

I can stop the errors by deactivating the server in Nagios which seems to indicate that its incoming nrpe connections to run checks on the server (rather than outgoing to request a check on some other server).
I disabled IPv6 and all that got me was another log entry I don't want to see:

Re: Error: Could not complete SSL handshake
What guide/tutorial did you follow? Can you tell us what you changed on your system in order to disable IPv6?I disabled IPv6 and all that got me was another log entry I don't want to see:
Aug 12 17:51:59 txslm2mlnag001 xinetd[1575]: IPv6 socket creation failed for service nrpe, trying IPv4
Are you using ModGearman? I wonder if check_nrpe issue is caused by problem with ModGerman...
At this point, it seems to me that we will need to move this to our email ticketing system and possibly do a remote. Is this an option for you?
