Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I have two servers.
I install two NSClient.
for the nagios server, it tells me:
NSClient - ERROR: Invalid password.
I want to change the port, how should I do?
Thank you.
Loïc.

in the service, I add-p 12589
result:

Look for NSC.ini in the folder you installed NSCLient. Modify that file and you can change password, allowed hosts and port...among other settings as well. If you change the password, you'd have to change it somewhere in nagios as well, but I have no clue where, as I have always just used the allowed hosts line to secure it.

Don't forget to restart the service when you make the changes.

Hi Loïc and BanditBBS,

To add to Bandit's post, after making the changes he outlined, you define the password and the port in the resource.cfg file on the Nagios XI machine.

It may be different on your installation, but the default location of the file is here;
$USER7$ is the port (default 12489) and $USER8$ is the password.

Hope this is helpful.

Kind Regards,

Gary Shergill

Actually the default port should be 12489
