After adding an new host I am getting this alert. I am still trying to get up on Nagiosxi

CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds

Any idea's on why this happening?

Thanks!

Is this a linux nrpe host? If it is, you need to install the agent on the remote host.

If using the linux agent:

This an VMware install of lunix. I had the agent installed. I did restart the service and it looks like it working fine now.

Thanks for you input
