Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

My allowed_host config looks like this:

allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1,nagios01.prd.iad1.nyt.net,nagios02.prd.iad1.nyt.net

When I start nrpe I got the following errors:

Jun 4 18:11:41 ip-10-212-12-236 nrpe[16522]: Invalid IPv6 address in ACL: nagios01.prd.iad1.nyt.net
Jun 4 18:11:41 ip-10-212-12-236 nrpe[16522]: Invalid IPv6 address in ACL: nagios02.prd.iad1.nyt.net

I'm running nrpe.x86_64 2.15-2.el6 from EPEL.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Steven

Well first issue I am noticing is that nagios01 and nagios02 are both getting the same result, which appears to be a ptr record with IP and hyphens instead of periods. What do you get from an nslookup? Also you could really easily resolve this by just using an IP instead of the hostname, if you wanted.
