Solaris 11.3 NRPE v3 agent

[snapon_admin]

Is there an agent available for Solaris 11? We have servers using solaris 11.3 that are currently on NRPE 2.12 while our test server (soon to be production as well) is running NRPE 3.2 so it's throwing a bunch of error messages in the server logs. If there isn't a Solaris 11 agent, is there source code for it somewhere so we can compile something ourselves? All I was able to find was the following doc that states that only 10 is supported.

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... _Agent.pdf

The instructions for compiling NRPE from source are in the following link for various operating system and Solaris 11 is included.

It does not appear that this is there any longer.

I cannot connect to that with telnet. It is giving a connection refused errors.

That's very strange. I was able to download it from a Nagios XI server using the same wget command. Is it possible that codeload.github.com is blocked at your firewall? Can you download the file on your desktop and SCP it to the server?

Ok it looks like they were able to get it. One other question, if our XI server is on NRPE 2.12 will that work with NRPE 3 agent on the client? I assume it wouldn't work that way, but just wanted to confirm.

[mbellerue]

Yes, you can monitor a NRPE 3 client with the NRPE 2 plugin.

[snapon_admin]

So we've encountered kind of an annoying issue with this. We've upgraded our Solaris agents to v3 but the Nagios XI server is still on v2 and sometimes (completely randomly but often enough to be a burden) we're getting The following error:

Code: Select all

CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

What can we do to fix this?

[mbellerue]

Can you post the nrpe.cfg from one of your client systems here?

#  Notes:
#
#  This is a sample configuration file for the NRPE daemon.  It needs to be

#############################################################################


# LOG FACILITY
# The syslog facility that should be used for logging purposes.

# LOG FILE
# If a log file is specified in this option, nrpe will write to
# that file instead of using syslog.

# DEBUGGING OPTION
# This option determines whether or not debugging messages are logged to the
# syslog facility.
# Values: 0=debugging off, 1=debugging on

# 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=/vendor/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).

# 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

#
# Note: The daemon only does rudimentary checking of the client's IP

# 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=127.0.0.1,10.0.13.250,10.245.128.172,10.245.128.24



# 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.

# 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

# COMMAND PREFIX
# This option allows you to prefix all commands with a user-defined string.
# A space is automatically added between the specified prefix string and the
# command line from the command definition.
#
# *** THIS EXAMPLE MAY POSE A POTENTIAL SECURITY RISK, SO USE WITH CAUTION! ***
# Usage scenario:
# Execute restricted commmands using sudo.  For this to work, you need to add
# the nagios user to your /etc/sudoers.  An example entry for allowing
# execution of the plugins from might be:
#
# nagios          ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/
#
# This lets the nagios user run all commands in that directory (and only them)
# without asking for a password.  If you do this, make sure you don't give
# random users write access to that directory or its contents!

# command_prefix=/usr/bin/sudo


# MAX COMMANDS
# This specifies how many children processes may be spawned at any one
# time, essentially limiting the fork()s that occur.
# Default (0) is set to unlimited
# max_commands=0



# COMMAND TIMEOUT
# This specifies the maximum number of seconds that the NRPE daemon will
# allow plugins to finish executing before killing them off.

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.

#         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

# NASTY METACHARACTERS
# This option allows you to override the list of characters that cannot
# be passed to the NRPE daemon.

# nasty_metachars="|`&><'\\[]{};\r\n"



# COMMAND DEFINITIONS
# Command definitions that this daemon will run.  Definitions
# are in the following format:
#
# command[<command_name>]=<command_line>
#
# When the daemon receives a request to return the results of <command_name>
# it will execute the command specified by the <command_line> argument.
#
# Unlike Nagios, the command line cannot contain macros - it must be
# typed exactly as it should be executed.
#
# Note: Any plugins that are used in the command lines must reside
# on the machine that this daemon is running on!  The examples below
# assume that you have plugins installed in a /usr/local/nagios/libexec
# directory.  Also note that you will have to modify the definitions below
# to match the argument format the plugins expect.  Remember, these are
# examples only!


# The following examples use hardcoded command arguments...
# This is by far the most secure method of using NRPE
