hi,

we monitored hosts in dmz network over a proxy hosts.
now we have the issue, i didn't work since we started install a new instance on a new server.
the ip-address of the new instance is in the nsclient.ini.
We have a proxy server that is configured as nrpe host in Free Variables.
During a network monitoring we saw tcp traffic over port 5666 to the host but the nsclient doesn't response.
We have installed nsclient 0.5.2.39-x64.

Any ideas or should we do this in a remote session?

Best Regards
thomas

If the request is going through a proxy then nsclient.ini should have the IP address of the proxy and not the ip address of the new server.

it does.
Is there any additonal setting to set in the nslient.ini?

Yes, make sure the proxy's IP address is in the "allowed hosts" list(https://docs.nsclient.org/reference/win ... owed-hosts) and then restart the service.

it is and the nsclient is on version 0.5.2.
Can you set up a remote session?

Is there anything logged in the nsclient.log when the XI machine tries to connect?

Please PM me a copy of the log as well as a copy of nsclient.ini. I'd also like to see the exact check_nrpe command and arguments that are being run. What is returned if you try running the check_nrpe command from the command line of the XI machine?

i have send you both files. btw: the log file size is 420mb..

if i use check_nrpe, it shows me the description:

The text file should compress nicely well below 420mb. I didn't receive it possibly due to the size. Please compress it at try sending it again.

Also try running the command without the "-c" option:

running the command without c result in:
[nagios@atvienag001 ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 10.0.1.19 -t 30


the file i tried to upload is a zip file. Can you provide an ftp or other upload site?

When i create a ticket, can i schedule a remote session and work together ?
