Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

We have copied the pre-complied binaries on to an AIX server and made the changes to the npre.cfg file. We have restarted the nrpe service. But still we are getting the error "Could not complete SSL Handshake". The set of binaries have been copied to another similar build of AIX and it is working fine over there. Can you please let us know how to fix it.

We have copied the nrpe.cfg file from the server which is working fine, but still same error.
We have restarted the nrpe service
We have checked the tcp port 5666 connectivity from Nagios server, it is working fine.
We are able to ping the server.
When we run the check_nrpe from Nagios server we are getting socket timed out.

Regards,
I2MP Team.

Is nrpe running under xinetd? Did you add the IP address of the Nagios XI server to the "only_from" line in "/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe"?
Note: You will need to restart xinetd after modifying the file.
If nrpe is running as a standalone daemon, you will need to add the IP address of the Nagios XI server to the "allowed_hosts" line in the "nrpe.cfg" file and restart nrpe.
Is openssl and openssl-devel installed?
