[Nagios-users] CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.

[a***@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have successfully installed and configured nagios on redhat linux box and
now I'm trying to monitor nagios client on solaris 10 box. I've installed
nagios plugins and nrpe fine. But when try to run check_nrpe from nagios
server it gives the following error,

[***@lnxtestsrv1 libexec]$ ./check_nrpe -H 10.192.2.60 -c check_root
CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.

on the solaris box when I run the same command it works.

***@sol-box # /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 20% -c 10% -W 10% -K
5% -p /
DISK OK - free space: / 9311 MB (95% inode=97%);| /=439MB;7880;8865;0;9850

The nrpe deamon works fine on the remote solaris box and I can even telnet
to it from nagios server.

I need to know how to restart the xinetd service on the solaris box ?

***@sol-box # /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost
NRPE v2.12


Please suggest how to fix this?

Thanks

Can you tell us how so that people who have a similar problem in future
know what to do?

Sure,

The problem was SSL handshake. what I did, on the remote solaris machine I
recompiled nrpe without the ssl support (./configure --help will tell you
how to do that). Once this is done, I executed the following command from
the nagios server

/home/nagios/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 10.192.2.60 -c check_users -n
USERS OK - 2 users currently logged in |users=2;5;10;0

So, If the remote system was built and configured without ssl, you can
define a separate entry in commands.cfg on the nagios server as in the
following example:

define command{
command_name check_nrpe_no_ssl
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ -n
}

(note the -n qualifier in the command_line) modify your service check (in
services.cfg) to use check_nrpe_no_ssl and restart the nagios server
ex: check_nrpe_no_ssl!check_users!-n

Hope this helps
