i am using fedora servers i installed nagios,nagios-plugins,nrpe,xineted, and openssl* packages in my local fedora system i am able to login my web browser as a nagiosadmin account i can able to monitor my localhost

NRPE v2.12

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H <nagiosserverip>
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

Try putting client IP in allowed IP in nrpe config.
Also check whether the client and demon nrpe are of same version.

hi rahul_dubeyin

i din't understand what u said exactly

i gave my nagios server ip and loopback ips in my nrpe.cfg file
my nrpe and nagios vertions is (nrpe-2.12.tar.gz,nagios-3.2.3-8.fc13.i686,nagios-plugins-all-1.4.15-2.fc13.i686)

Let say you have a host for which you need to fetch the information using check_nrpe. Put that host ip in nrpe.cfg as allowed ip.
And let me know if this work.


Also show us your nrpe.conf configuration.

Also see below link.
