<html> <head> <style></style> </head> <body class='hmmessage'> I have a small test Nagios 3.2 environment on a Suse platform ( 11 & 10 boxes )and was wondering about the encryption methods used. I am working fine with no encryption configured on host or central server. I am getting all of the checks on the console. Once I set it to any value other than 0 on both the server & host, I no longer get anything on the central server. I've tried using the simple XOR and 3DES & DES If I send a test job from the command line as per the instructions, with no encryption set ( not even simple XOR ) I see the reply in the nagios.log file on the Nagios server. If I set the encryption on both & send the test job again,( restarting nagios on both) it says 1 packet was sent successfully but nothing shows up on the central server. I am still learning my way thru Suse & Nagios so not sure if the encryption process is part of the send_nsca or Suse. I don't know what encryption is installed on the suse boxes or even how to check. Is there a way to test or check what encryption(s) are installed on the boxes? Since this is ultimately a totally private network, can I use the value of 0 for no encryption ? I know the cfg file explicitly says its not recommended Sorry for the stupid questions, but Nagios will do alot for my environment if I can get it squared away. Thanks for your time. </body> </html>
