[SOLVED] Check_NRPE from Ubuntu server to OpenWRT router. Connection refused by host

urikndla · 05-30-2011, 04:59 AM

Well, I finally got to connect executing nrpe as standalone daemon.

What I had wrong is server_adress in the /etc/nrpe.cfg file on the remote host. I just updated it and it works fine now.

It also works without -n flag:

Code:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.5.110
NRPE v2.12

I still can't connect executing xinetd.

I was taking the wrong server address, I was taking the ip from eth0 instead of eth1. Once I changed that, check_nrpe start working also under xinetd and without -n flag.

Code:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.5.110
NRPE v2.12

Also nagios plugins are working perfectly.

Code:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.5.110 -c check_total_procs
PROCS CRITICAL: 38 processes

Thanks a lot for your time and patience MensaWater.
