Nagios Support Forum

Can you let me know the version of Solaris you're running? Please post the output of uname -a and cat /etc/release. We did find an issue where nrpe will not start correctly on a version earlier than update 10 (8/11, s10x_u10wos_17b).

If you're the version above or later, please try running nrpe from the command line, using the command '/opt/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /etc/nagios/nrpe -n -d'. Post any output that might help us figure out what's going on.

Thanks,

Eric

You need to install this patch and you should then be able to start nrpe service.

I hope this would work after applying the said patch. But, Do we have any other solution for the above issue because we have many such servers and we cannot upgrade all servers due to various dependencies.

The patch requires more patches. In my case I installed Solaris 10 Update 10 patch bundle and then installed this patch. It worked fine.

Thanks
