nrpe or nsclient failure from workload

[awilson]

Is there any history of the remote agents crashing from receiving simultaneous or overlapping service check requests? If not, are there any observed conditions that have caused an agent to stop operating and require a restart?

Thanks!

Probably would help to know which versions of NRPE/NSClient and OS we're talking about here.

I agree with @rexconsulting.

I don't know of any agent's crashing, but I do know when NRPE is running under xinetd on Linux it can block connections if it gets more than 30 together from the same IP.

this can be modified by adding the following to /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe

Code: Select all

per_source = UNLIMITED

then the service restarted

Code: Select all

service xinetd restart

Thanks. I've requested the version information from the server team. We don't have direct access to the servers.

can you give the output of the following

Code: Select all

netstat -nlp|grep 5666

[awilson]

The response was that the port was not listed. The info came back as an image.

Were you able to get the service started?

May we close the thread?

Please close. Thank you
