[Soved] NRPE not working on Core 3.5.1 on FreeBSD 9.0

[jbruyet]

Hey all, currently have Nagios running on a CentOS 6.3 server and everything is running good. I want to re-task that box so I'm trying to get Nagios running on a FreeBSD server, Nagios v3.5.1 and FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE #0. All of my non-CHECK_NRPE checks are green but all of my CHECK_NRPE checks have the "CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake" error. I read that this can happen if one SSL version is newer than the other but this looks pretty close:

Code: Select all

srvFreeNag:	OpenSSL 0.9.8q 2 Dec 2010
srvBackup:	OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010

Anything else I should be looking at?

Thanks,

Joe B

Can you post the service definition of one of your NRPE checks? Thanks!

Hi slansing, here's a service definition:

Code: Select all

define service{
        use                     generic-service
        host_name               Backup
        service_description     sda1 Free Space
        check_command           check_nrpe2!check_sda1
        }

Thanks,

Joe B

Just to interject here - have you looked at the nrpe troubleshooting doc - specifically section III? (the doc says "XI" but it is mostly relevant to both XI and Core)

I wound up reinstalling Nagios plugins and NRPE on one of the hosts and several checks turned from red to green. I need to go in and make some changes to the nrpe.cfg file to add in the additional hard drives and I'm pretty sure that'll do it. Thanks to all who stepped up to help out.

Thanks,

Awesome, let us know if you have issues defining extra commands in the nrpe.cfg.
