nrpe installation

[narendran.neelamegam at wipro.com]

only_from            = 127.0.0.1 <nagios_ip_address>(here nagios server
ip address given or Monitoring server)

 

Only allow access to nrpe deamon from localhost and the IP of the Nagios
server ( You don't want other systems to connect nrpe deamon)

 

( Run the below commands and send check the error message)

 

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1  

 

usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1  -n

 

Also enable logging in nrpe.cfg and check the log.

 

Regards,

Naren

Hi,

nrpe daemon is running on the remote box. One thing is not clear to me (
from nrpe docs)

Edit the /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe file and add the IP address of the
monitoring server to the only_from directive.
only_from            = 127.0.0.1 <nagios_ip_address>(here nagios server
ip address given or Monitoring server)

After executing on remote server 
netstat -at | grep nrpe

tcp         0           0 *:nrpe    *:*        LISTEN

(below check_nrpe is not working)
Next, check to make sure the NRPE daemon is functioning properly. To do
this, run the check_nrpe plugin that
was installed for testing purposes.
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost
You should get a string back that tells you what version of NRPE is
installed, like this:
NRPE v2.8
could not complete ssl handshake

You don't need nrpe on both the monitoring and the remote sever.

 

You need check_nrpe -on monitoring server and nrpe on the
remote/monitored server.

 

I hope you have read the relevant section of the nrpe installation
document.

 

Do you have additional information on the remote server such as OS etc.

 

What trouble shooting steps you carried out?
