XI - NRPE

[Daniel Wittenberg]

The buffer size is how much data it can send in one 'chunk', and it's hard-coded in the binary.  Many people increase the limit so they can send larger payloads of data in the NRPE packets.  If you have like a server that's been increased but not the client for example, you'll see this type of error.

Usually I've seen that when you have a mismatch in the buffer sizes, so
maybe XI has a larger buffer size?

We have found the same issue with NRPE where we had NRPE happily running on
our Nagios 3 installs, and simply added the new IP to xinetd, and our
firewall and restarted xinet and we get the same 0 bytes from daemon error
within XI but the services work without any issues on our V3 installs

We also found that the nrpe installer script downloadable from XI would not
complete an install either with it just hanging on step 4 firewall settings.

It also failed to pick up Cloud Linux LVE kernels as well

Steve

Did you modify your XI installation at all (e.g. replace the included nrpe
version with an older)?

You may want to check your logs on the client for more specific error
messages from nrpe.

server and Linux are running 2.0. I tried using the nrpe wizard in XI, which
according the documentation will work, but when I do this on one on my Linux
server, all services go into an Unknown state, CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes
from daemon. Check the remote server logs for error messages. So I am come
lost and confused.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing
makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing
computing to be delivered as a service.
