Nagios Support Forum

Everything you've posted looks fine to me, so I'm not sure what's going on here. One thing to check up on are your firewall rules, because you can get that SSL error from firewall issues as well.

Anyone else? For all of you who are using Debian for your Nagios servers did you do a package install or a source install?

Thanks,

Do you have an "agent.cfg" file? Try:
On my debian test machine I am not using xinetd and in my "agent.cfg" file I have:

Kudos to you lmiltchev!!! I just created the file, rebooted the server and now I have:

debcs CPU Load OK 05-08-2012 16:20:01 0d 0h 1m 9s 1/3 OK - load average: 0.31, 0.23, 0.09

Onward and upward!

Thanks again,

Glad to see you got things figured out.
