Now I need to run some commands/plug-in (like checl_openmanage.exe), but I don't find the correct sintax. Right now I prepare a command inside NSC.ini file like these: command[nsc_openmanage]=c:\nagios\check_openmanage.exe nsc_open=scripts\check_openmanage.exe -v When I try to call it from nagios server with: ./check_nrpe -H IPADDRESS -c nsc_openmanage I receive following error: CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds. </blockquote><div> a socket timeout means it could not connect the nrpe port. If you try this nagios@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ ./check_nrpe -H winxp01 I (0.3.2.9 2008-05-17) seem to be doing fine... so without any commands to be run, it just checks whether the nrpe service is ok. If you try a not defined command in nsc.ini, like this: nagios@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ ./check_nrpe -H winxp01 -c test UNKNOWN: No handler for that command there is no 'test' command defined, so it gives me an UNKNOWN. in your nsc.ini check that the NRPEListener.dll is enabled, the [NRPE] section should look (at least) like this; [NRPE] port=5666 command_timeout=60 allow_arguments=1 socket_timeout=30 and your [NRPE Handlers] section should contain your allowed checks (here only services and disks): nrpe_CheckService=inject checkServiceState CheckAll exclude=SysmonLog nrpe_CheckDriveSize=inject CheckDriveSize MinWarn=10% MinCrit=5% CheckAll FilterType=FIXED FilterType=REMOTE your nagios server must be allowed to query the nrpe server (check firewall and allowed_hosts settings in nsc.ini) </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> NSClient++ works correctly with : check_nt -H IPADDRESS -v xxxxxxxx check_nrpe -H IPADDRESS -c CheckCPU -a warn=80 crit=90 time=20m time=10s time=4 My versions are: Nsclient++ = 0.2.7 2007-03-06 Check_nrpe = 2.7.1 May you show me any NSC.ini files ? </blockquote><div> your nsclient++ is quite old, you should try a newer one.
