Nrpe on remote linux

Post by WillemDH »

Any guidance on how to setup nrpe on Linux?

I keep getting
service nrpe start
nrpe: unrecognized service

nagios server is in the allow list and firewall should be ok.

iptables -I INPUT -s 10.54.24.99 -p tcp --dport 5666 -j ACCEPT

it's a CentOS

i'm trying to run a remote check_jmx check on it.

How was the agent installed?
If you used the agent from the XI web ui, you should be able to start nrpe with:

Code: Select all

service xinetd start

Ok, managed to make it work again. Still have some issue executing remote check_jmx from Nagios, But i'm out of time for the moment, so I'll have to put this on hold for now. i'll let you know how it goes later.
