Was executing the steps are described. In that after executing below commands received the error as “CHECK_NRPE: Error receiving data from daemon”.

Hi,

Thanks for using Nagios and participating in the Community Forum. The most common cause here is if the allowed hosts option is not set correctly. Open a shell on the remote hosts and check the following file.

Code: Select all

vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
And make sure you have the Nagios Server IP address set.

Code: Select all

vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
If you make any changes be sure to restart NRPE to apply them.

If that's not your issue, then check the command arguments and lastly make sure you compiled NRPE with SSL enabled. This is all described in the kb article. Let us know if you get working!
