Do you have restrictive firewall rules set? Can you ping assets?

Code: Select all

iptables -L

Code: Select all

ping assets.nagios.com

We let the instance run overnight and it started to download successfully. Not sure if rebooting allowed it to see the elastic IP assigned to it or not. Thanks for the help abrist.
Didn't want to open a new thread but we are trying to monitor a few OpenSUSE 12.3 machines but when we go to install the nrpe agent on each SUSE machine we get "suse is not currently supported. Please use Red Hat or CentOS versions 5 or 6."


But the site says NagiosXI does SUSE monitoring:

Am i missing anything the Nagios software is up to date..We are having the same issue when trying to get install this utility for any AMI linux servers.

Well, NRPE is one of many ways to monitor remote hosts. You could set up SNMP traps, active SNMP GET requests, as a few. You could also set up check_by_ssh to check the SuSE system. As far as I know there are a few source packages for NRPE on SuSE, but we do not have those under our direct control, I've seen them floating around on the net.

You are going to need to compile nagios plugins on the SuSE server as well.
