Nagios Check for Kemp Load Balancer not working

[kwhogster]

Nagios 4.3.4 Core

Just installed Kemp Load Balancer appliance on my VMWare 6.5 ESXI Host.

I would like to monitor the Kemp.

I tired this basic test and it failed.

root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/linuxservers# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -t 50 -H 10.10.10.12 -c check_ping
connect to address 10.10.10.12 port 5666: Connection refused
connect to host 10.10.10.12 port 5666: Connection refusedroot@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/linuxservers#

I setup a service on the Kemp using a VIP of 10.10.10.152

root@tgcs017:/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/linuxservers# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -t 50 -H 10.10.10.152 -c check_ping
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.


Anyone have any Nagios checks for Kemp working?

What OS and Release it the Kemp Load Balancer appliance running?

What the check_nrpe plugin does is to send commands to a remote server that is running the NRPE agent, then the Agent runs the command and passes the status back to the Nagios server that initially ran the check_nrpe plugin.

The errors that you are showing, either the NRPE agent is not installed on the server, or that it is not configured to allow the Nagios server to connect to it.
Did you install the NRPE agent?

You may want to review the follow link for general NRPE troubleshooting and information on how NRPE works.

Vers:7.2.43.0.16425.RELEASE
The OS of the Kemp appliance not sure of I believe it is a modified version of RedHat

You can not install any thing on the local client

I think they allow snmp checks

If you cannot install anything on the device, them you cannot use check_nrpe to run plugins on it.

I did find this plugin on the Exchange site that uses SNMP to poll a Kemp device. Take a look at it to see if it does anything you need.

tgriep,


Thanks I found that one and got it setup.

Need to do some more further testing.

Just strange that port 5666 is not opened on the Kemp.

You can lock this now.
