This was exactly what I was missing (to enable ssl during configuration before compilation).. I am using FreeBSD, so I used WITH_SSL=yes as compile option for nrpe port. So check your operating system and its package system for any configurable options for nrpe package. I am leaving from work, so I won't be online until morning. I hope my few lines will actually do some help. </blockquote> </blockquote> Most of the SSL errors I get are related to the allowed_hosts option. Check that your Nagios server IP address is on that line (separated by commas). Also, on your nagios server, run the check_nrpe command as the nagios user with exactly the same arguments as the Nagios server would have and display the error to us.
