nrpe

[Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]]

You might want to set "debug=1" in nrpe.cfg, retry some tests, then take a
look at your syslog output.

I ran the command.
 
[root at antispam src]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users -w 5 -c 10
USERS WARNING - 6 users currently logged in
 
[root at antispam src]# ./check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1 -c check_nrpe_status
CHECK_NRPE: Error receiving data from host.

[root at antispam src]# ./check_nrpe -H 129.207.59.33 -c check_nrpe_status

I added it to the config and restart xinetd and made sure it was running
too.  I made sure it was running too
 
[root at antispam src]# netstat -plant | grep 5666
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5666            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

[root at antispam src]# ps -aux | grep nrpe

Thanks for the help Jim

And what happens when you login to the client which is running NRPE, su to
nagios, then run the following manually:
 
  /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users -w 5 -c 10
 
While we're at it, add this to your nrpe.cfg:
 
  command[check_nrpe_status]=echo "OK - NRPE is alive"

then at the prompt, try this:
 
  ./check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1 -c check_nrpe_status
 
If you get "OK - NRPE is alive", then go to your Nagios server and try:
 
  ./check_nrpe -H 129.207.59.33 -c check_nrpe_status
 
and see how that goes.  (I'm assuming that's the correct IP address.)

Yes.

Can you telnet to port 5666 on your client?

This is what my nrpe config looks like.
 
command[check_users]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_users -w 5 -c 10
command[check_load]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c
30,25,20
command[check_disk1]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p
/dev/hda1
command[check_disk2]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -p
/dev/hdb1
command[check_zombie_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 5 -c 10
-s Z
command[check_total_procs]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -w 150 -c
200

 
Here is my xinetd script 
 
 # default: on
        # description: NRPE
        service nrpe
        {
                flags           = REUSE
                socket_type     = stream
                wait            = no
                user            = nagios
                server          = /usr/sbin/nrpe
                server_args     = -i /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg
                log_on_failure  += USERID
                disable         = no
                only_from       = 129.207.59.31 129.207.59.33 127.0.0.1
 
Here is the error
 
[root at antispam src]# ./check_nrpe -H 129.207.59.33 -p 5666 -c check_users
CHECK_NRPE: Error receiving data from host.

Do you have check_ping defined in the nrpe.cfg file of the client host?

I check the recent messages to make sure my question had not been answered.
But what is the common cause ofthis error?  The nrpe dameon is running on
the remote host, and plugins are up to date etc.
Thanks
 
 
snatch:/usr/local/nrpe-1.7/src# ./check_nrpe -H antispam.pvamu.edu -c
