Which check isn't working right? With the command you ran about we confirmed that you have connectivity and this is working. Now it's time to look at the service check and see what we have going on as far as syntax.

Can you post the service definition for those checks?

I found something strange. I used command:

Code: Select all

root@expserver:~#  /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 192.168.3.252 -n -u -p 5666 -t 60 -c -a MaxWarn=95% MaxCrit=99% type=physical
CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon.  Check the remote server logs for error messages.
and logs came different:

Code: Select all

2015-10-05 07:45:49: e:c:\build\nscp\include\socket/connection.hpp:236: Failed to establish secure connection: unknown protocol
previous logs was:

Code: Select all

2015-10-05 07:41:29: e:..\..\..\..\nscp\modules\NSClientServer\NSClientServer.cpp:254: Invalid password (123456).
2015-10-05 07:41:31: e:..\..\..\..\nscp\modules\NSClientServer\NSClientServer.cpp:254: Invalid password (123456).
2015-10-05 07:41:31: e:..\..\..\..\nscp\modules\NSClientServer\NSClientServer.cpp:254: Invalid password (123456).
and if you can see I made check without checkMem, so it is something wrong wih NSCclient

There is a lot of confusion here. Regarding check_nt:

check_nt simply doesn't work without a password. It has to be defined. I don't see the problem here. We need to see your command definition for "check_nt2" if you're still having issues.

Regarding check_nrpe (only used for your memory check):

CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon.  Check the remote server logs for error messages.
This is because of the -n flag. Note that check_nrpe DOES NOT use the -s flag, so the above command looks OK other than the -n. Show us the exact output when you run the literal command /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -t 60 -H 192.168.3.252 -c checkMem -a MaxWarn=95% MaxCrit=99% type=physical from the Nagios server command line.

Ok, so I tried this command:
