Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

I have configured an AIX server on my core and enterprise server to check if the configuration works fine with SSL enabled.but this is showing a ssl handshake error.

CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake error on nagios console and while running it from nagios server its showing time out error

[root@bxxxx5 config]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H bxxxx40
CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.


[root@bxxxx5 ~]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H bxxxx40
CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.

could you please shared which binary version was compiled to include SSL, or is there a more recent binary we should be using for AIX 7.1 and AIX 7.2

The SSL Handshake error usually indicates that the Nagios server's IP address are not in the allowed_hosts list from the nrpe.cfg file.
Verify that all of the nagios servers IP address are setup in the nrpe.cfg file and that the nrpe agent is restarted after editing that file.
There is a NRPW troubleshooting guide you can look at if you still are having problems.

If you are looking for NRPE Agent for AIX 7.x, take a look at the Perzl site for an updated package.
