CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake

[desmondlewissmith]

What would cause this error?

Is this a case where I'd need to specify in the /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg and IP address for allowed hosts?

Right now I'm getting CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake for every service monitored.

I'm running the downloaded VMware image.

On the CLIENT computer, I would edit
/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe

Code: Select all

service nrpe
{
        flags           = REUSE
        socket_type     = stream
        port            = 5666
        wait            = no
        user            = nagios
        group           = nagios
        server          = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe
        server_args     = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        disable         = no
        only_from       = 127.0.0.1 ADD_IP_HERE
}

add the IP of your Nagios XI machine.

then,

Code: Select all

service xinetd restart

If you continue to receive errors, look in
/var/log/messages

on the CLIENT machine
