Nagios Support Forum

Hi support,

We found that the solaris wizard need the solaris client open port 5666 for monitoring.

But no any solutions to open a port except this:

(on solaris client 192.168.255.68)

# vi /etc/services
*add lines like:*
nxi_monitoring 5666/tcp
nxi_monitoring 5666/udp

# svcadm restart inetd

And this doesn't work.

(on centos monitoring server)

# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.255.68 -t 30 -c check_disk -a '-w 20% -c 10% -p /'

connect to address 192.168.255.68 port 5666: Connection refused
connect to host 192.168.255.68 port 5666: Connection refused

Please help us open a port on solaris.

Verify that port 5666 is up and listening on the Solaris machine with:

netstat -na | grep 5666

Also verify that the monitoring server's IP address is listed as an allowed host in nrpe.cfg(usually /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg):

allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1,::1,monitoring_server_ip

Is the firewall running if run:

svcs -a |grep ipf

?

Hi Support,

1. [solaris client]
There's no ouptut for this: 2. [Centos monitoring server]
I added the ip in nrpe.cfg file, like this: And restarted the nagios service.

3. [solaris client] ---
What should we do next?

The nagios service should open up port 5666. Are you seeing anything in the /var/svc/log/application-nagios-nrpe:default.log or /var/svc/log/network-nagios-nrpe:default.log files? What is the status when you run "svcs | grep nrpe" ?

There's no output for any nrpe service on the solaris client.

So, do I need to add some plugin or package for solaris client?

I thought I can monitor solaris client through the solaris wizard on the monitoring server, and only thing needs to be done is open 5666 port.

What should I do next?

The NRPE agent would need to be installed on the Solaris server. The wizard should have links for it or you can find steps at https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... ml#Solaris.

Ok, we got it.

please lock this posts.

Thanks for helping!

Glad to hear!
