I am in the process of migrating from a configuration with a single Nagios server to one with a master and a slave server. As part of this migration I have updated the NRPE configuration that is installed on the clients to include both hosts as allowed_hosts for NRPE calls. However I noticed that at NRPE restart, the following messages are issued:
Aug 14 09:24:15 NODENAME nrpe[2592]: Unknown option specified in config file '/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg' - Line 41 Aug 14 09:24:15 NODENAME nrpe: nrpe startup succeeded Aug 14 09:24:15 NODENAME nrpe[2593]: Starting up daemon Aug 14 09:24:15 NODENAME nrpe[2593]: Warning: Daemon is configured to accept command arguments from clients! Line 41 of /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg is the allowed_hosts line which reads (with context): # ALLOWED HOST ADDRESSES # This is a comma-delimited list of IP address of hosts that are allowed # to talk to the NRPE daemon. # # NOTE: The daemon only does rudimentary checking of the client's IP # address. I would highly recommend adding entries in your # /etc/hosts.allow file to allow only the specified host to connect # to the port you are running this daemon on. # # NOTE: This option is ignored if NRPE is running under either inetd or xinetd allowed_hosts=III.III.III.111, III.III.III.222 where III.III.III.111 and III.III.III.222 are the IP addresses of the Nagios servers Is the error message (from /var/log/messages) misleading ? Or is there an error in the configuration ?
