Okay so we're running into the following issue:

When trying to run a check from the XI interface we get the following for this one solaris host:

Code: Select all

COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H sammdc01 -c check_load -a 5.0,5.0,5.0 10.0,9.0,8.0
OUTPUT: CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

However if the same check is run locally through nrpe (as nagios user) it works:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost -c check_load -a 5.0,5.0,5.0 10.0,9.0,8.0
OK - load average: 1.25, 1.28, 1.30|load1=1.254;15.000;30.000;0; load5=1.281;10.000;25.000;0; load15=1.305;5.000;20.000;0;

Relevant Info:
Solaris OS:
uname -a
SunOS sammdc01 5.11 11.1 i86pc i386 i86pc

allowed hosts has the correct IP for the xi server and localhost;
/etc/inetd.conf is pointing to the nrpe install and nrpe.cfg:

Code: Select all

nrpe stream tcp nowait nagios /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg -i

NRPE is listening:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/netstat -a |grep nrpe                                                                                                                                  
      *.nrpe               *.*                0      0 128000      0 LISTEN

The solaris agent was installed via the following documentation:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... _Agent.pdf (solaris-nrpe-agent/init.sh was edited for 5.11 as the documentation states)

/etc/services has the 5666 entered:

Code: Select all

nrpe 5666/tcp # NRPE

Nagios home directory is set to /usr/local/nagios.

Any idea on what could be causing this? At first I thought there were two nrpe's running but svcs |grep nrpe only brings up the agent that was installed:

Code: Select all

svcs |grep nrpe
online         20:54:24 svc:/network/nrpe/tcp:default

From the Nagios machine, can you run nmap clientip against the machine and post the result?

To give an update, I found the issue. The Binary was looking for the nrpe.cfg in /opt/nagios instead of /usr/local/nagios/ which is where it is installed. This can be closed.

Thanks for sharing the solution, I'm sure that will come in handy at some point down the line. I'll go ahead and lock this thread now.
