URGENT REPOST: CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes fromdaemon ErrorMessage

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi there -

 

I checked the timeouts, and all seem to be in sync with one another, I also
checked that both the nrpe daemon and the check_nrpe  plugin  are set to run in
non-SSL mode. I am at a loss

here as to why this is happening. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I would say that you need to use inetd, OR an init.d script, but not both.  If
you try to then you'll get errors when they try and start up.

 

Your 'unable to read output' error seems to indicate that you have a timeout.  I
don't know what plugin you are attempting to run remotely, but check to make
sure that the timeout on check_nrpe (A), on the nrpe.cfg file (B) and for the
remotely run plugin (C) are set as C<B<A.  Your error message seems to be
timeout A.

 

Another possibility is that your check_nrpe is running in non-ssl mode, but your
nrpe daemon is running in SSL mode...  I notice that you have given the -n
option (non-SSL) in your init.d definition, but not in your inetd.conf
definition!  Are you using -n in your check_nrpe?  Pick one and use it
throughout...
