check_nrpe works from CLI, fails from server with timeout

[abrist]

hmmm, this is strange. Did you have to change the timeout settings in the nrpe.cfg file? (if so, you have to restart the service)

What if you change the service definition to the following:

Code: Select all

define service {
use local-service
host_name hostname
service_description VPN:[Client Name]
check_command check_nrpe!check_VPN_[client_name]!30!
}

Fill in the client name with the correct information, then check from the nagios web interface after verifying the config changes as usual.

Have you also defined the timeout in the nagios server's nrpe.cfg?
