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 :-<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> # 'check_nrpe_no_ssl' command definition<o:p></o:p> define command{<o:p></o:p> command_name check_nrpe_no_ssl<o:p></o:p> command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -n -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$<o:p></o:p> }<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Therefore when I need to define a service to my AIX client I use the check_nrpe_no_ssl command.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Regards<o:p></o:p> Stephen<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> ---------------------------------------<o:p></o:p> Stephen Wing<o:p></o:p> Steria Limited<o:p></o:p> Senior Technical Consultant<o:p></o:p> Telephone 02890393605<o:p></o:p> Mobile 07966823605<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center tabindex=-1> </div> From: nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of stephen wing Sent: 16 October 2007 09:51 To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] check_nrpe with -n option<o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> Hi All<o:p></o:p> 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 :-<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> define service {<o:p></o:p> host_name HCNTEST1<o:p></o:p> service_description / Free Space<o:p></o:p> check_command check_nrpe!5666!check_root<o:p></o:p> use generic-service<o:p></o:p> max_check_attempts 3<o:p></o:p> normal_check_interval 5<o:p></o:p> retry_check_interval 1<o:p></o:p> check_period 24x7<o:p></o:p> notification_interval 60<o:p></o:p> notification_period 24x7<o:p></o:p> notification_options w,c,r<o:p></o:p> contact_groups localadmins<o:p></o:p> }<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Regards<o:p></o:p> Stephen<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> ---------------------------------------<o:p></o:p> Stephen Wing<o:p></o:p> Steria Limited<o:p></o:p> Senior Technical Consultant<o:p></o:p> Telephone 02890393605<o:p></o:p> Mobile 07966823605<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> </div> </body> </html> <pre>***************************************************************** This email originates from Steria Limited, registered office: Three Cherry Trees Lane, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire HP2 7AH; Registered in England and Wales, number 2706218; www.steria.co.uk.
