Re: Could not complete SSL handshake to Amazon EC2 host

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi Eric,

 Thanks for your reply. I do have nrpe running under xinetd on the host I'm
trying to monitor.

 And running the nrpe checl locally:

[root@ops:~] #/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H localhost
NRPE v2.15

[root@ops:~] #grep only_from /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
        only_from       = 127.0.0.1 216.120.248.126

And I do have port 5666 open on the security group for this host.

And I made sure the local firewall was stopped, because I am blocking ports
with the security groups instead.

[root@ops:~] #service iptables status
Firewall is stopped.

It's only when checking from the monitoring host that nrpe fails:

[root@monitor1:~] #/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H ops.jokefire.com
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.

Really, really puzzling. This is driving me up a wall!! I hopeI can solve
this soon....

Thanks for any and all help with this one!!
Tim
