NRPE Socket timeout

[scottwilkerson]

looks like that may just be a meta package

try

Code: Select all

yum install nagios-plugins-all

I still would highly recommend the method above

[fsodah]

I used this one for the installation
https://tecadmin.net/install-nrpe-on-centos-rhel/

For future agent installations I would recommend the official installation for XI as we cannot modify/change these 3rd party guides

On your Redhat server, please run the following commands as root and post the output so we can search the drive for the plugins and see how NRPE runs, etc.

Code: Select all

netstat -anp |grep 5666
ps -ef |grep nrpe
find / -name check_disk

Thanks.

Error: Nothing to do

[scottwilkerson]

I am out of any other options as we do not control these packages.

I would actually recommend removing the nrpe package installed via yum

Code: Select all

yum remove nrpe

And install using the following method

This will setup everything you need and will also have all the plugins expected when using the Linux Wizard in Nagios XI
