Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

We have some IPV6 configured network device but our Nagios server are configured on IPV4. Please guide us how we can setup monitoring for IPV6 Configured Devices. Below is the result from IPV6 Device

xinetd 4287 root 5u IPv6 477XXXXXXXXX 0t0 TCP *:5666 (LISTEN)

Do you see an interface on the XI assigned an IPv6 address if you run "ip addr" on its command line?

The check_nrpe plugin is capable of using IPv6 using the "-6" option. From the help:

...
Options:
-H, --host=HOST The address of the host running the NRPE daemon
-2, --v2-packets-only Only use version 2 packets, not version 3
-4, --ipv4 Bind to ipv4 only
-6, --ipv6 Bind to ipv6 only
-n, --no-ssl Do no use SSL
