I was taking someone’s advice and decided to try NRPE for remote command checks FROM a linux nagios server against a Solaris remote server. I am running nagios-2.7 on a Fedora Core 6 server and nrpe-1.9_5 on a solaris 9 remote host along with nagios-plugins-1.3.1_2 for sparc. I have the nrpe running as a daemon at the moment to keep things simple, and without SSL, have the nrpe.cfg tweaked to run on port: 5666/U: nagios/G: nagios and the example check defined:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Command[check_load]=/usr/local/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load –w 15,10,5 –c 30,25,20<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> And run the following from the nagios server while the nrpe daemon is running on the remote host:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe –n –H remote.host.name –p 5666 –t 30 –c check_load<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> And I continually get the proverbal <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> nrpe[427]: [ID 421412 daemon.error] Could not read request from client, bailing out... <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> error. Any thoughts or ideas on what I could fix/check/reconfigure?<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thanks in advance<o:p></o:p> Michael Weiner<o:p></o:p></DIV> <PRE wrap>=================================== Cleveland Clinic is ranked one of the top 3 hospitals in America by U.S.News & World Report.
