Re: [Nagios-users] Host is not allowed to talk to us!

Well, I finally got the problem fixed. It turns out that the latest problem was caused by some .so library files that were incorrect. I ran ldd on the nrpe binary and looked at each file it was looking for. Going through the files one-by-one, I found the files and had redo some sym links.

Hi all, I'm getting a message from the syslog of my nrpe client that says: Host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is not allowed to talk to us! In the nrpe.cfg file I have the IP address of the nagios server: allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1,172.20.40.45 I can ping the server just fine. This is nrpe v 2.10, and server

Hi Marc, Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I have the correct IP. Also I already have debugging turned on in nrpe.cfg. I have other clients connecting just fine. I just restarted nrpe and I got this message: Dec 12 09:18:22 nagiosclient svc.startd[7]: [ID 748625 daemon.error]

Grant, Are remote checks from your Nagios server to this NRPE client succeeding? Is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx one of your own, or an external IP address? I'm thinking there may be a remote system trying to talk to your NRPE system that it's not allowing (which is correct.) It could potentially be

Hi Andy, The remote nrpe client (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) is on a DMZ at work, and the nagios server is internal. You're saying the remote nrpe system should not be able to accept requests when queried from the nagios host. There shouldn't be any port scanning going on. I had the networking folks

Hi Grant, What I meant was NRPE is denying a connection from a host you've not allowed in your config (i.e. it's not your Nagios server.) Can you identify the server that NRPE is not allowing to connect? Is it one of your own IP addresses? The fact that your NRPE system is inside a DMZ may

Hi Marc, Well at least I'm understanding you now :- Yeah, I can ping the private IP address of the nagios server. The public address I'm seeing is NAT'ed IP address. I'm not going to make the box dual-home, but an option seems to me to just give the Nagios server an external DNS name and

Well, operator error (I made a mistake). I found that inside nrpe.cfg there is a lines tha I needed to modify: allowed_hosts=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx I modified that and now I get a different error: nrpe[2779]: [ID 813741 daemon.error] Error: Could not complete SSL handshake. 1 On the nagios server,
