Hi All,

I have configured a Nagios server which is working well with all king of clients. But when I added a new windows machine to monitor, it gives a error message "connection refused". I have set everything as prior machines.

Now, I just wanted to know the process by which we can check if server is able to communicate with the client's NSclient daemon. In Linux, we simply issue "./check_nrpe -H hostname" and if ok, it gives the NRPE version which indicates the status ok.

Thanks,
Deepak

I'm not familiar with Nagios, but Connection Refused suggests that at the basic network level you are not connecting, so either nothing is listening on that port, or it is being blocked. run "netstat -plunt" to see what's listening on your server (i wouldn't know which port specifically to check for, as i've not used it) If something is listening, check "iptables -L -n -v" for anything blocking it, and if there's still no joy, run a tcpdump on that server interface to watch for connection attempts from the source IP in question.

NRPE runs by default on port 5666/tcp.

The above command works. I mean:

I (0.3.7.493 2009-10-12) seem to be doing fine...

Actually, there was some problem with configuration. Thanks for responding me so quickly.

Thanks,
Deepak
