Fwd: CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.

[asam30 at gmail.com]

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

Regards
