Nagios Support Forum

I followed the instructions for installing NRPE on AIX and have modified and I get the error:

CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

I have set allowed_hosts in /=127.0.0.1,172.16.24.51 on client to allow NAGIOSXI server but still having issues.

Also have # cat /etc/services|grep nrpe
nrpe 5666/tcp #nrpe


phxsarpt.grhc.local

Any help on the AIX side would be appreciated. I looked in the forums and found nothing with answers.

Please try passing one of those check commands with the "-n" flag, you may not have compiled with SSL support.

That looks good:

[root@localhost ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -n -H phxsarpt
NRPE v2.12

How do I configure the server to use NRPE and not SSL to check clients?

Based on what instructions you followed, you either manually compiled it, used an install script, or used a static binary. Can you link me to what you used to install NRPE? Then I can let you know what to do on the agent's end. For the time being, you can keep passing -n in your commands to at least get checks returning while we work on this.

I used this document:

http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... Nagios.pdf

Those are binaries - they must have been compiled without ssl support.

What version of AIX is this, you may have to remove those binaries, and compile from the NRPE source with SSL support.

AIX 7.1.3.3.

I cannot seem to find a Monitoring Wizard or client for AIX 7.x.x

Yeah, you will need to hunt down the nrpe dependencies and then compile nrpe from source to get ssl to work.

I am using SSH monitoring for AIX now. Works Great!!!

Thanks...
