SSL Handshake eror while installing nrpe

Post by anoop »

Dear Team,

We installed NRPE plugin in client machine(rhel6) and modified some settings in nrpe.cfg file where we given nagios monitoring server IP in allowed_hosts option and also modified allowed_hosts in /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe .

Started the xinetd daemons and firewall is fine, but when we try to add services from the plugin, we are getting "CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake."

i installed openssl package and i need the ssl flow in nrpe...

Please let us know and help us to resolve the issue.

I would first suggest that you walk through the possible solutions in the following document:
http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... utions.pdf
Did you instal openssl before you built the agent?
What method did you use to install the nrpe agent? (form our link in the XI interface, from source, or from a repository?)

Not as far as I am ware, though you do have to have openssl installed before building nrpe. What were the errors that you received for 2.14? The SSL-Handshake errors, or something else?

I didn't see any recent bugs:

http://sourceforge.net/p/nrpe/bugs/

I'm glad the issue is resolved. For the future, I would recommend using out official documentation/guides.
