This program is designed to process requests from the check_nrpe
plugin on the host(s) running Nagios.  It can run as a service
under inetd or xinetd (read the docs for info on this), or as a
standalone daemon. Once a request is received from an authorized
host, NRPE will execute the command/plugin (as defined in the
config file) and return the plugin output and return code to the
check_nrpe plugin.

On the remote host, check for ssl:

Code: Select all

which openssl

You should see something like:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/openssl

This means the remote host has ssl enabled.

As we have never seen the configs after a number of suggested edits, could you post:
1. The remote host's nrpe.cfg
2. A transcription of you check in XI, a screenshot, or the text file you download when you click the disk icon next to the service check in the CCM under services?

[psyllex]

I saw what was expected. Here is my services from the CCM and the nrpe.cfg Both are attached. Thanks for the help.

[scottwilkerson]

remove the -n from $ARG2$ for each of the services

Apply Configuration

Just for testing lest run this from the commandline on the XI server and return both results

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 10.10.0.102
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 10.10.0.102 -t 30 -c check_users -a '-w 5 -c 10'

First result: NRPE v2.12
Second result: USERS OK - 3 users currently logged in !users=3;5;10;0

Eureka, looks like it is working. Change your check in XI to match the check from the cli that worked. Report back.

Yeah it looks like that might have done it. I'm waiting till all my services run through their checks to make sure. Awesome thanks people.

[slansing]

Great, This should do it for you, let us know if the other services clear fine as we are expecting them to.

[abrist]

Let us know when all is well and we will lock this large thread. Cheers.
