Setting Up NSCA Client with NSClient and Nagios XI

[tgriep]

Remove this line from the nsclient.ini file and restart the NSClient++ service.

Code: Select all

use ssl = false

Also, make sure the passwords match on both systems.

I have done the above and unfortunately this still does not work

[jdalrymple]

Code: Select all

grep nsca /var/log/messages

also what happens when you (from the windows host)

Code: Select all

telnet 192.168.253.107 5667

connection fail or blank screen?

[phil821]

Unfortunately, grep nsca /var/log/messages/ returns nothing.

Telnet does not work server to host, when I do host to server I get garbled characters.

[tgriep]

The Telnet from host to server garbled characters is a good thing. We know that the server is listening on that port.
Can you look at the nsclient.log file on the windows host and post the errors here?
Can you upload the latest nsclient.ini file to this post?

Absolutely, thanks again for your time.

Under your allowed hosts, is the IP address AND the hostname there? What happens if you try to use exclusively IP addresses instead of the hostnames?

This guide I wrote has the absolute minimum NSClient++ configs required to make it work, it might help troubleshoot.
