Return code of 255 is out of bounds

Hi everyone - I have a new install of XI and for some reason I have 2 CentOS servers that continue to post a "Return code of 255 is out of bounds"

I've tried a few things I've read online but so far I haven't had any luck getting these server to check in properly. Any suggestions would be great.

What kind of checks are these? Are you using check_nrpe, check_by_ssh, etc.? Show us the actual command run from the command line along with the output of it. Also, show us the service and command definitions.

I'm very new to Nagios - which command would you like me to run to provide the requested output

[vmwareguy]

when I run
./check_nrpe -H X.X.X.X
connect to address X.X.X.X port 5666: No route to host
connect to host X.X.X.X port 5666: No route to host

[vmwareguy]

figured it out - firewall was blocking 5666

ran iptables -I INPUT -s x.x.x.x -p tcp -m tcp --dport 5666 -j ACCEPT

Working great

Ah! That would do it, I was just about to respond to this so nice work! In the future, it helps to troubleshoot the plugins from the /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ directory over the command line, that way you can emulate the checks and see what the actual error message is. It's usually a bit more information then the web GUI provides.

Are we good to mark this as resolved?
