Nagios Support Forum

Hi Everyone,

We have Nagios Core Server installed on Linux Server. The Nagios core version is 2.5.
I installed the Nagios Client AIX 5.3-nrpe 2.12-bin on my AIX server running 5.3 TL12. The AIX Plugins aix53_nrpe-nsca plugings too.
Configured the nrpe.cfg, added nrpe 5666 port to /etc/services. openssl is already installed on AIX server. nrpe is running.
ps -ef |grep nrpe shows nagios 929872 1 0 08:03:46 - 0:00 /usr/local/nagios/nagios/bin/nrpe -c /usr/local/nagios/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg -n -d

I went to Nagios server and ran ./check_nrpe -H IP of the AIX server client. Iam getting errors.
$ ./check_nrpe -H localhost IP
CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.
$

Am I missing some thing here.
Do any one have a Documentation on Nagios AIX client installation on 5.3 and 6.1 version.

Please let me know ASAP.

Thanks
Sunil

I actually just answered the same question except for a win2k3 server: http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... 271#p29271. Replace the word NSclient.log with the syslog and the same information applies (excluding the bit about restarting the service).

There is also this guide to installing NRPE on AIX 5.3: http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... Nagios.pdf
