check_nrpe with -n option

[stephen wing]

Hi All

            Just to let you know I have overcome my problem, the history of
why I needed this was that my nagios server and the check_nrpe command were
compiled on a linux box with SSL. Therefore it defaults to use SSL when you
use the check_nrpe command. My issue came when I am using the nrpe on an AIX
machine. On this client the nrpe was compiled with SSL disable, therefore
the check_nrpe command could not connect. To overcome this problem I defined
a command as follows :-

 

# 'check_nrpe_no_ssl' command definition

define command{

        command_name    check_nrpe_no_ssl

        command_line    $USER1$/check_nrpe  -n -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p $ARG1$ -c
$ARG2$

        }

 

Therefore when I need to define a service to my AIX client I use the
check_nrpe_no_ssl command.

 

Regards

Stephen

Hi All

            I need to use check_nrpe with the "-n" option so that it does
not use SSL connection, When I use this from the command line I get the
result I expect. My question is what should the services.cfg file look like
to include this option. My current services.cfg file looks like this :-

 

define service {

host_name                      HCNTEST1

service_description            / Free Space

check_command                  check_nrpe!5666!check_root

use                            generic-service

max_check_attempts             3

normal_check_interval          5

retry_check_interval           1

check_period                   24x7

notification_interval          60

notification_period            24x7

notification_options           w,c,r

contact_groups                 localadmins

}

 

Regards
