Hi I am using Nagios with NRPE to monitor my lab infrastructure and I am facing this issue of SSL handshake failing with NRPE. The exact error as displayed in syslog is:
Aug 18 04:15:23 nrpe[15581]: Error: Could not complete SSL handshake. 5 The following is displayed in /var/log/nrpe at the same time: 09/8/1...@04:15:39: START: nrpe pid=16259 from=10.201.214.90 09/8/1...@04:15:41: START: nrpe pid=16260 from=10.201.214.90 09/8/1...@04:15:46: START: nrpe pid=16274 from=10.201.214.90 09/8/1...@04:15:49: START: nrpe pid=16275 from=10.201.214.90 09/8/1...@04:15:56: START: nrpe pid=16276 from=10.201.214.90 09/8/1...@04:16:02: EXIT: nrpe status=0 pid=16128 duration=286(sec) 09/8/1...@04:16:02: EXIT: nrpe status=0 pid=16199 duration=156(sec) 09/8/1...@04:16:16: START: nrpe pid=16291 from=10.201.214.90 09/8/1...@04:16:25: EXIT: nrpe status=0 pid=16176 duration=220(sec) 09/8/1...@04:16:26: START: nrpe pid=16292 from=10.201.214.90 09/8/1...@04:16:34: EXIT: nrpe status=0 pid=16260 duration=53(sec) 09/8/1...@04:16:36: EXIT: nrpe status=0 pid=16229 duration=125(sec) 09/8/1...@04:16:51: EXIT: nrpe status=0 pid=16194 duration=215(sec) 09/8/1...@04:17:07: START: nrpe pid=16307 from=10.201.214.90 09/8/1...@04:17:17: START: nrpe pid=16308 from=10.201.214.90 09/8/1...@04:17:21: EXIT: nrpe status=0 pid=16275 duration=92(sec) 09/8/1...@04:17:35: EXIT: nrpe status=0 pid=16274 duration=109(sec) 09/8/1...@04:17:46: EXIT: nrpe status=0 pid=16291 duration=90(sec) 09/8/1...@04:17:46: EXIT: nrpe status=0 pid=16292 duration=80(sec) What does the above error mean? Does it have anything to do with network issues? Why is the duration high at this time for a few requests while normally it is less than 5 sec? I am running nrpe as a service under xinetd with the following configuration: ( /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe ) # default: on # description: NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor) service nrpe { flags = REUSE socket_type = stream port = 5666 wait = no user = nagios group = nagios server = /usr/local/nagios/bin/nrpe server_args = -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg --inetd log_type = FILE /var/log/nrpe log_on_failure += USERID ATTEMPT disable = no only_from = 10.201.214.90 per_source = UNLIMITED cps = 50 30 } Thanks, Shashank. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
