I have a small test Nagios 3.2 environment on a Suse platform ( 11 & 10 boxes
)and was wondering about the encryption methods used.
I am working fine with no encryption configured on host or central server. I am
getting all of the checks on the console. Once I set it to any value other
than 0 on both the server & host, I no longer get anything on the central
server. I've tried using the simple XOR and 3DES & DES
If I send a test job from the command line as per the instructions, with no
encryption set ( not even simple XOR ) I see the reply in the nagios.log file
on the Nagios server. If I set the encryption on both & send the test job
again,( restarting nagios on both) it says 1 packet was sent successfully but
nothing shows up on the central server.
I am still learning my way thru Suse & Nagios so not sure if the encryption
process is part of the send_nsca or Suse. I don't know what encryption is
installed on the suse boxes or even how to check.
Is there a way to test or check what encryption(s) are installed on the boxes?
Since this is ultimately a totally private network, can I use the value of 0
for no encryption ? I know the cfg file explicitly says its not recommended
Sorry for the stupid questions, but Nagios will do alot for my environment if
I can get it squared away.
Thanks for your time.
