CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake

Hello,

I set up NRPE according to this document.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nrpe/NRPE.pdf

When I run the check with: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

I followed the troubleshooting tips for this specific error without success.

Can you please advise?

Thanks,

What specifically did you follow in that document? Was NRPE compiled with SSL properly? Is the Nagios server IP allowed in the NRPE config?

I figure it out... I have to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1

I'll leave this post up in case others search for the same error :)

Please close thread.

Thanks,
