i am running the command : “/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost” and i am getting “CHECK_NRPE: Error – Could not complete SSL handshake.” and i don’t think that /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files are involved since i am testing on Localhost!Can you help please! thanks

I have the same problem with this command into my nrpe.cfg:

command[vsftpd]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -c 1: -C vsftpd

Could you paste:

nrpe.cfg plugin command on the remote host

service setting on the Nagios server

the check_nrpe worked ok by command line, but on web interface I can see “No output returned from plugin” only, Why?.

In the line

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs –argument-array=”/usr/sbin/vsftpd” -c 1:

I don’t believe -argument-array is a valid option. -argument-array is the type of data that should be supplied to the -a option.

I usually structure my check_procs as follows for monitoring a service:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -c 1: -C vsftpd

Sorry, but I made a mistake with the NRPE command;

I want to say ‘(with vsftpd command into nrpe.cfg: command[vsftpd]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -a vsftpd)’ not ‘(with vsftpd command into nrpe.cfg: command[vsftpd]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost -c vsftpd)’…

The exact command is:

command[vsftpd]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs –argument-array=”/usr/sbin/vsftpd” -c 1:

When I launch this command:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -a vsftpd

I have this output:

PROCS OK: 1 processus avec args ‘vsftpd’

But when I launch this command:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost -c vsftpd

I have this output:

PROCS OK: 0 processus avec args ‘vsftpd’
