Nagios Support Forum

HI ,

I am getting the below error for nrpe . When i run the below command on nagios server 3.5.1 , i am getting below error.

root@CNPUDAS011 libexec]# ./check_nrpe -H localhost
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

i used to get the proper output previously , but now i am receiving above error.

Please let me know how to resolve this.

Hi veenm,

You are checking an nrpe connection to the localhost machine, but in this case it's the Nagios machine itself. Is this intended? Chances are nrpe won't be installed on the Nagios machine as it's not required (it just needs the plugin check_nrpe).

Does nrpe work with remote hosts?

e.g. Kind Regards,

Gary Shergill

yes , i am checking the localhost using the nrpe. but i got the output till yesterday , but suddenly it throwed the this error. And NRPE is working on other hosts.

May I suggest checking the troubleshooting doc for possible solutions?
