NCPA on aws

Post by bruce_clegg »

I am setting up new clients with the ncpa agent. The agent loads without error and the aws firewall is set to allow udp: 161, 162, tcp: 5693, 12489,and 5666. All ICMP is allowed.

I go through the ncpa configuration wizard and it finds the server - but all of the checks are coming back as 'warning' (No output on stdout) stderr: /bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''

When I still had network resources, I set up a temporary test where all traffic was allowed between the nagios xi server and the agent - and things came up green. Any thoughts on what I've missed or am doing wrong?

I suspect the token you're using on the NCPA agent has a special character like ! or $

Does the token have any special characters ?

yes it does.

I just need to change it to something else? That's easy enough.

Yes change it to something without ! and I also recommend not using $.

Change it on your host and then restart the listener service. Then go into Core Configuration Manager and locate each of the services and update the password in the config.
