That's a pretty old version of check_nrpe, please upgrade to the latest and try again:
Code: Select all

I downloaded the newest version per your link
Will I have to worry about any other services defined that use nrpe?
Will the services I already have defined still work?
Really do not want to cause a major issue at this point
No one has gotten back on my last post with the nsclient ini files
I still believe that I have a config issue still in Nagios or the nsclient.ini

We are currently working through the issue at hand with your NRPE version which can affect your NSClient++ configuration file. Have you upgraded to the latest version and tested it out yet?
It should be backwards compatible as long as they're compiled the same way.

Not yet
But no one on here has replied about the newest nsclient.ini files I posted.
Thanks

If you try another version, does it work successfully? check_eventlog appears to be the newer version at this point, while checkeventlog is deprecated. This page may help you out -

Have you taken a chance to create a post on their forums? Your best bet for support is going to be the products forums.
From what I can tell, you posted your configuration files and @ssax made a suggestion. I'm not sure what you're referring to at this point.

The file format between the 4.1.x and the 4.3.x nsclient.ini files are the same so you can stop the nsclient++ service on the Windows system, replace it with the old one and start it up.
That should work for your check.

If you are using the nsclient.ini file from your earlier post, edit it and under this section
Remove this line
Then under this section
put the following.
put the following if it doesn't exist.
Code: Select all
ssl options =
verify mode = none
insecure = true
allow arguments = true
allow nasty characters = true
use ssl = 1
port = 5666
extended response = 0
Save the file and restart the NSClient++ service.
If you still have errors, post the nsclient.log file so we can view it.
