Nagios Support Forum

I am receiving the following error when running "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ntp -H 10.112.9.10"

NTP CRITICAL: No response from NTP server

Check command - nrpe

Command view - /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c '$ARG1$' -t 90 -a '$ARG2$' '$ARG3$' '$ARG4$' '$ARG5$' '$ARG6$' '$ARG7$' '$ARG8$' '$ARG9$'

$ARG1$ - check_ntp

$ARG2$ - time.partners.org

$ARG3$ - 1.0

$ARG4$ - 2.0

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Garvin Peterkin

Are you sure that time server isn't down?

I get a normal response here but the same error here

Thanks for the response.

I am able to ping the time servers from the Nagios server.
It is up and running.

Pinging the server doesn't mean that the NTP service is working properly.

can you run the following?

Results of the command is below.

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ntp -H time.windows.com -w 1 -c 2
NTP OK: Offset 0.003534734249 secs|offset=0.003535s;1.000000;2.000000;

I will check Nagios again to make sure problem still exists, although I have changed nothing.

Thanks

So time.windows.com is returning a correct response, if you run the same command against time.partners.org and it errors, it is likely a problem with the time.partners.org time server
