NagiosXI Check_NRPE: Error -Could not complete SSL handshake

[psyllex]

I'm having this issue on a Nagios XI installation. I've run the monitor wizard. I have the agent on the Ubunut servers running. I went into /etc/init.d/hosts.allow and changed the ip address to the ip of my nagios server. I'v done:

Code: Select all

ps aux | grep nrpe

and it looks like NRPE agent is running. I'm just not able to see any sources on it.

How are you trying to communicate with the remote NRPE host from the Nagios server? Try the following:

Code: Select all

/directory of nagios plugins/check_nrpe -H host.IP.of.remote.NRPE.client

What does it output? Do you have port 5666 open on the remote Ubuntu server? What else do you have in /etc/init.d/hosts.allow? You should also have a nrpe.cfg file, can you post the contents of it?

I'm not using any plugins. I installed Nagios XI on a VM, then I put the agent on the remote Ubuntu servers. That's it. There is nothing else in the /etc/init.d/hosts.allows on the remote machines except the <ip address>to the Nagios server.

What guide did you follow for installing the NRPE agent? Ours or a packaged distro version? If so you should have a nrpe.cfg file like noted above. This file will contain handlers for your remote plugins and a definition to allow the Nagios server to communicate with NRPE on the remote host.

I used the "Installing the Nagios Ubuntu and Debian Linux Agent" at http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... _Agent.pdf

I look under /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects and there is not nrpe.cfg. I looked under /usr/local and there is no actual nagios folder which is how I got everything when I used core.

I did look in /usr/lib/nagios/libexec and saw there is not check_nrpe command executable so I copied it over from the Nagios server.

It looks like from your other thread that this has been solved, locking as resolved.
