[Nagiosplug-help] Problems when check scheduled by nagios

[Stewart St. Dennis]

Did you do the NRPE set up on the target machine. By default the NRPE config. is "respond to nothing". Only those check command listed in the NRPE set up on the target machine will be responded to by the target machine. 

Assuming this is the issue, modify the target machine's NRPE config and then restart the NRPE daemon, and all should be good.

Subject: [Nagiosplug-help] Problems when check scheduled by nagios

Hi - Hoping someone will have some insight or run into this before. I have 
nagios server loaded on a Solaris server and am having problems with a check on 
Redhat Linux server. I wrote a simple perl script to check ace server check_ace. 
It works on the local machine and with check_nrpe on the local machine. On my 
nagios server, I can run it fine by hand with 

    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check__nrpe -H remote_host -c check_ace -t 60
Returns 
    OK: Found 8 processes running

But when I setup to have nagios run it I get warning - nagios.log shows
    SERVICE ALERT: server_name;Check ACE Services; WARNING; SOFT 1; (null)
    SERVICE ALERT: server_name;Check ACE Services; WARNING; SOFT 2; (null)
    SERVICE ALERT: server_name;Check ACE Services; WARNING; SOFT 3; (null)

So it appears that there is no reply from the remote server or the reply is 
null? I found that with the normal timeout of 10 sec it didn't complete in time 
so I checked/changed nrpe.cfg on my server to:
    command_timeout=60
    connection_timeout=300
and nagios.cfg
    service_check_timeout=60
    host_check_timeout=30
    event_handler_timeout=30
    notification_timeout=30
    ocsp_timeout=5
    perfdata_timeout=5

So, do I need to change all the nagios.cfg timeout's to 60? How can I find more 
info than the log is showing now or can anyone shed light on the log data? 


Thanks in advance
- Don
