NRPE Problem after Nagios Upgrade to 5.5.0

Post by aptmis »

Hi, Since updating NagiosXI with latest version of 5.5.0, I started having problems.
1) My nrpe monitoring of Linux Server started giving me following errors:
NRPE: Command 'check_disk' not defined
NRPE: Command 'check_init_service' not defined
NRPE: Command 'check_cpu_stats' not defined
NRPE: Command 'check_init_service' not defined
NRPE: Command 'check_mem' not defined
NRPE: Command 'check_init_service' not defined
NRPE: Command 'check_open_files' not defined
NRPE: Command 'SSH' not defined
NRPE: Command 'check_swap' not defined
NRPE: Command 'check_init_service' not defined
NRPE: Command 'Total' not defined
NRPE: Command 'check_yum' not defined
I tried to follow all the procedure described in your KB articles but no luck - I could not even remove it from "DashBoard" Display, despite successfully deleting Services and hosts in CCM. I even updated nrpe agent.
2) Graph display for all the devices also stopped working, this is the first time that the update has been proven to be a nightmare.

I believe we are going to need some more information to diagnose the problem.

Can you open a ticket at
https://support.nagios.com/tickets/

and include your profile.zip form Admin -> System Profile

so I see this in your log

Code: Select all

Remote 10.100.0.49 does not support Version 3 Packets
One thing you may want to do is to go to the CCM -> Commands -> check_nrpe -> Edit
and add a -2 to the command to force back down to version 2

Per for first post:

are you getting these on all hosts or just 1 because this looks like these commands are not configured on the client. Maybe when you updated the NRPE agent you didn't use the XI Linux Agent like you were using before which has those commands defined

I would recommend removing the agent and reinstalling using the doc above

I have two linux host, NagiosXI and NagiosNNA. These errors are only on NagiosXI , after I updated it with latest version. Yes I did reinstall NRPE again and again. I did try "One thing you may want to do is to go to the CCM -> Commands -> check_nrpe -> Edit
and add a -2 to the command to force back down to version 2" but it did not work. Now I will try to uninstall NRPE and reinstall again and see what happens!!!!

you extracted into the directory that already existed, but make sure you removed the other nrpe first, then:

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
rm -f /tmp/linux-nrpe-agent
tar xzf linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz
./fullinstall
