Services Failing on install of new client

Post by lance.peterson »

I installed a new client, (it's been a while since I've done this) I have CPU, Disk, Memory Usage, PING and Uptime selected. The only thing that works is PING. I've copied the nsclient.ini file and restarted the Nagios service on that server and I still get a CRITICAL- Socket timeout after 10 seconds when I have the firewall turned on and when it's off I get " connect to address 172.16.89.51 and port 12489: Connection refused"

What do I need to do to make this work?

Thanks,

Ports 5666 and 12489 should both be opened. I assume this is NSClient on a Windows machine?

I turn the firewall off of the Windows Server 2012 machine and I still get the "connect to address 172.16.89.51 and port 12489 connection refused?

If the firewall is off all ports should be open?

Probably Windows UAC being a bully. Are we good to close this thread?
