Nagios Support Forum

Hello everyone,

So, i just finished installing nrpe on two linux servers. One is working perfectly normal, and the other i am getting an "error-could not complete SSL handshake" on the nagios website. So i went on the nagios server and ran "/etc/nagios3/objects$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H content.comtex.com" where content.comtex.com is the name of the host trying to be monitored, and that command returns the "error-could not complete SSL handshale" as opposed to displaying the version of NRPE if it was working. Can anyone lend a helping hand? Thanks in advance

it was for a service called "current load", and it works fine on the other linux server

Follow the possible solutions in the following document:

i was trying to access the nagios folder on my remote host, and realized its not even there... what do i do?

Have you installed nrpe and the nagios-plugins on the remote host?

yes i have installed NRPE but its not showing up when i try to list it, and im not sure if i installed the NRPE plugins

The plugins need to be installed on the remote host. If nrpe is on the remote host and the daemon is running, you should be able to get version information:

On the Nagios server: If content.comtex.com is your remote host. If that does not work, run through the steps in the previous posted document to troubleshoot the myriad of possible causes.
