Hello,

I am Fab from France (sorry for my english)

I have server nagios running with nrpe v2 (on Debian7)
I don't have probleme for checking client that using nrpe2

but, I have client with nrpe v3 (Debian9) and I saw probleme with version

client :

Code: Select all

Could not read request from client x.xxx.xxx., bailing out...
Error: Request packet version was invalid!

So can I force client that use nrpe v3 to work with server nagiosn that use nrpe v2?

Thanks

Try adding -2 or --v2-packets-only to the check_nrpe plugin commands.

I tested but always the same probleme.

Finally, with an ap-get upgrade I saw this morning it have new package for update noagios NRPE,
if you upgraded client / serveur (and NRPE v2 / v3) will work fine !

All if ok now !
