NSClient - ERROR: Invalid password. [Nagios 3.23]

[mangirdas]

Hello Everyone,

I have problem with NSClient. All servers working fine, but one server always show this error.

I am using Nagios 3.23 version.

My server using NSclient++ 0.3.7 version.

My nsclient.ini file looks like:

I was trying to add

-s "password"

but it doesnt work.

Any Ideas how to fix it?

[hsmith]

Are none of the other machines having issues using a password? Does it work when you don't try to use a password on the one having trouble?

Here is a document we have on configuring NSClient.

[mangirdas]

Only this Machine have problem. We have about 20 machines, but problem only with this, moreover all machine has same configuration. Maybe it can be problem because this server is Gateway?

[hsmith]

Weird. What happens if you just ./check_nrpe -H your.ip.address.here?

Edit: oops, you're using check_nt, not check_nrpe. not enough coffee.

./check_nt -H YOURIP -p 12489 -s YOURPASS -v CLIENTVERSION

[mangirdas]

Do you talking about commands.cfg file? I tried, but result was same

define command{
	command_name	checkmem16

[lmiltchev]

You can use "-s <password>" only with "check_nt". The "check_nrpe" doesn't take "-s" flag (password). A "typical" usage of "check_nrpe" is:

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -H <ip address> -p <port> -c <command> -a <arguments> -t <timeout>

[mangirdas]

So,

Any Ideas?

[hsmith]

What is the output of ./check_nt -H YOURIP -p 12489 -s YOURPASS -v CLIENTVERSION ?

[mangirdas]

Code: Select all

root@expserver:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H 192.168.3.252 -p 12489 -s D28Ak37AS -v 0.37
check_nt: Could not parse arguments
Usage:
check_nt -H host -v variable [-p port] [-w warning] [-c critical]
[-l params] [-d SHOWALL] [-u] [-t timeout]
root@expserver:~#

It should be like this?

[hsmith]

For -v, make sure it actually says CLIENTVERSION. That's telling it to run the check to check the client version.
