CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

[Johnsmit]

Hi,

i have installed nagios XI 5.4.13 on RHEL 7.3 servers. I tried to monitor the local nagiosxi server as a remote agent from configuration wizard. in the IP address i gave server ip instaed of localhost.
edited the nrpe.cnf
allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1,server_ip
tried to restart nrpe but failed on nagiosxi server
systemctl restart nrpe
Failed to restart nrpe.service: Unit not found.

in one of my posts i asked regarding NRPE install on nagiosxi server, i was told nrpe comes with nagiosxi installation but i didn't see nrpe.service on nagiosxi server.

Is there any way to monitor the local host with the server_ip address

Thanks,

On the XI server nrpe runs under xinetd.

Edit /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
add your IP separated by space to the only_from line, then restart xinetd service
