Hey thanks for getting back to me. Ran the the check as nagios and it worked as well.
Code: Select all
[nagios@NAGIOS log]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -H "vcsa.cafaroco.com" -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/vcsa_cafaroco_com_auth.txt" -l "VMFS" -s "Prod Servers" -c 5%:
CHECK_ESX3.PL OK - Storages : 'Prod Servers'(free)=439.77 GB (9.34%) | 'Prod Servers'=9.34%;;5:
Now I was just beginning to start another thread when I am thinking I may have coinciding issues. My nagiosxi box itself is "sort of" denying its own service checks.
/var/log/messages shows me this:
NAGIOS nagios: SERVICE NOTIFICATION: ahadm;Nagios XI;Memory Usage;CRITICAL;xi_service_notification_handler;(No output on stdout) stderr: connect to address 10.10.99.35 port 5666: Connection refused
and I get a text message every couple of minutes saying the above error. What is weird is I cannot even disable the notifications. It literally just does not let me. I click "disable notifications" and nothing happens. I am not sure if this is interfering with my checks or not.
Code: Select all
[root@NAGIOS log]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1
connect to address 127.0.0.1 port 5666: Connection refused
connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 5666: Connection refused
Firewall is disabled
[root@NAGIOS log]# service iptables status
iptables: Firewall is not running.
The service seems to be hosed..and I cannot start it.
[root@NAGIOS log]# service nrpe status
Checking for nrpe daemon...nrpe dead but subsys locked
I am now down a rabbit hole. I apologize I didn't know this was going to turn into this. I can start another thread if you wish but I would be unwise to say these aren't related in one way or another. Added a picture of the check from ccm.
Here is my nrpe.cfg: (I removed a good bit of lines that were all commented out)
Code: Select all
# LOG FACILITY
# The syslog facility that should be used for logging purposes.
log_facility=daemon
# LOG FILE
# If a log file is specified in this option, nrpe will write to
# that file instead of using syslog.
#log_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/nrpe.log
# DEBUGGING OPTION
# This option determines whether or not debugging messages are logged to the
# syslog facility.
# Values: 0=debugging off, 1=debugging on
debug=0
# PID FILE
# The name of the file in which the NRPE daemon should write it's process ID
# number. The file is only written if the NRPE daemon is started by the root
# user and is running in standalone mode.
pid_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/nrpe.pid
# PORT NUMBER
# Port number we should wait for connections on.
# NOTE: This must be a non-privileged port (i.e. > 1024).
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or xinetd
server_port=5666
# SERVER ADDRESS
# Address that nrpe should bind to in case there are more than one interface
# and you do not want nrpe to bind on all interfaces.
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or xinetd
#server_address=127.0.0.1
# LISTEN QUEUE SIZE
# Listen queue size (backlog) for serving incoming connections.
# You may want to increase this value under high load.
#listen_queue_size=5
# NRPE USER
# This determines the effective user that the NRPE daemon should run as.
# You can either supply a username or a UID.
#
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or xinetd
nrpe_user=nagios
# NRPE GROUP
# This determines the effective group that the NRPE daemon should run as.
# You can either supply a group name or a GID.
#
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or xinetd
nrpe_group=nagios
# ALLOWED HOST ADDRESSES
# This is an optional comma-delimited list of IP address or hostnames
# that are allowed to talk to the NRPE daemon. Network addresses with a bit mask
# (i.e. 192.168.1.0/24) are also supported. Hostname wildcards are not currently
# supported.
#
# Note: The daemon only does rudimentary checking of the client's IP
# address. I would highly recommend adding entries in your /etc/hosts.allow
# file to allow only the specified host to connect to the port
# you are running this daemon on.
#
# NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or xinetd
allowed_hosts=10.10.99.35,127.0.0.1,::1
# COMMAND ARGUMENT PROCESSING
# This option determines whether or not the NRPE daemon will allow clients
# to specify arguments to commands that are executed. This option only works
# if the daemon was configured with the --enable-command-args configure script
# option.
#
# *** ENABLING THIS OPTION IS A SECURITY RISK! ***
# Read the SECURITY file for information on some of the security implications
# of enabling this variable.
#
# Values: 0=do not allow arguments, 1=allow command arguments
dont_blame_nrpe=1
# BASH COMMAND SUBSTITUTION
# This option determines whether or not the NRPE daemon will allow clients
# to specify arguments that contain bash command substitutions of the form
# $(...). This option only works if the daemon was configured with both
# the --enable-command-args and --enable-bash-command-substitution configure
# script options.
#
# *** ENABLING THIS OPTION IS A HIGH SECURITY RISK! ***
# Read the SECURITY file for information on some of the security implications
# of enabling this variable.
#
# Values: 0=do not allow bash command substitutions,
# 1=allow bash command substitutions
allow_bash_command_substitution=0
command_timeout=60
# CONNECTION TIMEOUT
# This specifies the maximum number of seconds that the NRPE daemon will
# wait for a connection to be established before exiting. This is sometimes
# seen where a network problem stops the SSL being established even though
# all network sessions are connected. This causes the nrpe daemons to
# accumulate, eating system resources. Do not set this too low.
connection_timeout=300
# WEAK RANDOM SEED OPTION
# This directive allows you to use SSL even if your system does not have
# a /dev/random or /dev/urandom (on purpose or because the necessary patches
# were not applied). The random number generator will be seeded from a file
# which is either a file pointed to by the environment valiable $RANDFILE
# or $HOME/.rnd. If neither exists, the pseudo random number generator will
# be initialized and a warning will be issued.
# Values: 0=only seed from /dev/[u]random, 1=also seed from weak randomness
#allow_weak_random_seed=1
# SSL/TLS OPTIONS
# These directives allow you to specify how to use SSL/TLS.
# SSL VERSION
# This can be any of: SSLv2 (only use SSLv2), SSLv2+ (use any version),
# SSLv3 (only use SSLv3), SSLv3+ (use SSLv3 or above), TLSv1 (only use
# TLSv1), TLSv1+ (use TLSv1 or above), TLSv1.1 (only use TLSv1.1),
# TLSv1.1+ (use TLSv1.1 or above), TLSv1.2 (only use TLSv1.2),
# TLSv1.2+ (use TLSv1.2 or above)
# If an "or above" version is used, the best will be negotiated. So if both
# ends are able to do TLSv1.2 and use specify SSLv2, you will get TLSv1.2.
# If you are using openssl 1.1.0 or above, the SSLv2 options are not available.
#ssl_version=SSLv2+
# SSL USE ADH
# This is for backward compatibility and is DEPRECATED. Set to 1 to enable
# ADH or 2 to require ADH. 1 is currently the default but will be changed
# in a later version.
#ssl_use_adh=1
# SSL CIPHER LIST
# This lists which ciphers can be used. For backward compatibility, this
# defaults to 'ssl_cipher_list=ALL:!MD5:@STRENGTH' for < OpenSSL 1.1.0,
# and 'ssl_cipher_list=ALL:!MD5:@STRENGTH:@SECLEVEL=0' for OpenSSL 1.1.0 and
# greater.
#ssl_cipher_list=ALL:!MD5:@STRENGTH
#ssl_cipher_list=ALL:!MD5:@STRENGTH:@SECLEVEL=0
#ssl_cipher_list=ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:!SSLv2:!LOW:!EXP:!RC4:!MD5:@STRENGTH
# SSL Certificate and Private Key Files
#ssl_cacert_file=/etc/ssl/servercerts/ca-cert.pem
#ssl_cert_file=/etc/ssl/servercerts/nagios-cert.pem
#ssl_privatekey_file=/etc/ssl/servercerts/nagios-key.pem
# SSL USE CLIENT CERTS
# This options determines client certificate usage.
# Values: 0 = Don't ask for or require client certificates (default)
# 1 = Ask for client certificates
# 2 = Require client certificates
#ssl_client_certs=0
# SSL LOGGING
# This option determines which SSL messages are send to syslog. OR values
# together to specify multiple options.
# Values: 0x00 (0) = No additional logging (default)
# 0x01 (1) = Log startup SSL/TLS parameters
# 0x02 (2) = Log remote IP address
# 0x04 (4) = Log SSL/TLS version of connections
# 0x08 (8) = Log which cipher is being used for the connection
# 0x10 (16) = Log if client has a certificate
# 0x20 (32) = Log details of client's certificate if it has one
# -1 or 0xff or 0x2f = All of the above
#ssl_logging=0x00
# NASTY METACHARACTERS
# This option allows you to override the list of characters that cannot
# be passed to the NRPE daemon.
# nasty_metachars="|`&><'\\[]{};\r\n"
# The following examples use hardcoded command arguments...
# This is by far the most secure method of using NRPE
