They all look correct.

When logged onto uusrcpmwik00, execute the command against the local server:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1 -t 30 -c check_cpu_stats
check_npre might be in another directory on that server.

Is xinetd running more than once?

Code: Select all

ps aux | grep xinetd | grep -v grep

Please find the output for the commands:

I have added the below mentioned ones in nrpe.cfg and recycled the xinetd:
[root@uusrcpmwik00 etc]# grep 127.0.0.1 nrpe.cfg
#server_address=127.0.0.1

When NRPE is run under xinetd, the setting in nrpe.cfg is ignored.

When logged onto uusrcpmwik00, execute the command against the local server:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1
When logged onto Nagios XI, execute the following command:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H uusrcpmwik00

Not sure where the issue is, but after executing the below two commands on XI server:
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 5666 -j ACCEPT
service iptables save
The output on remote server is now changed to
[root@uusrcpmwik00 etc]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H lussvpnagiosxi00
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

Please advise.

This is from your remote server:
raamardhani7 wrote:[root@uusrcpmwik00 libexec]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
# default: on
# description: NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor)
service nrpe
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
port = 5666
wait = no
user = nagios
group = nagios
server = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe
server_args = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
only_from = 127.0.0.1 10.10.83.90
nrpe 5666/tcp
}
This line only_from = 127.0.0.1 10.10.83.90 needs to include the IP Address of the Nagios XI server.

10.10.83.90 is the IP address of the Nagios XI server..

To add to the point, please find the outputs:

Is the firewall on the remote server allowing inbound TCP 5666?

Surprisingly check_cpu_stats is working even remotely too..

[root@lussvpnagiosxi00 libexec]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H uusrcpmwik00 -t 30 -c check_cpu_stats
CPU STATISTICS OK : user=0.00% system=0.00% iowait=0.00% idle=100.00% nice=0.00% steal=0.00% | CpuUser=0.00;CpuSystem=0.00;CpuIoWait=0.00;CpuIdle=100.00;CpuNice=0.00;CpuSteal=0.00;30;100

Not sure why this is not working.
[root@lussvpnagiosxi00 libexec]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H uusrcpmwik00 -t 30 -c check_mem -a '-w 20 -c 10'
NRPE: Command 'check_mem' not defined

I could see output on XI server and also on Remote server.
