Hi All

Can someone assist me.
After Migating my Nagios XI fro CentOS6.5 to new Server which is running CentOS8.0.

My NRPE commincation to host is giving me an error although nagios.service is running fine:

But there seem to be a problem with NRPE, see below output.

CHECK_NRPE STATE CRITICAL: Socket timeout after 30 seconds.

I do not know whether is it related to the SSL handshake error on the nagios.service.
I did change the NSClient++.ini file allowed host to the ip of my new server but still cannot connect to the host.

I have attached the NSClient++.ini file.

HI

On the Nagios server run:

Code: Select all

nmap -p 5666 <ip of remote nrpe machine>

If that fails then check out the firewall settings on the remote nrpe machine

On the remote nrpe machine:

Code: Select all

vi /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg

verify that the ip of the Nagios server is listed as a value for the allowed_hosts property

Please let me know how things work out.
