I want to have like 4 machines, each one of them with Nagios and nrpe (plugin+daemon) installed so that every one of the machines could be able to monitor all of the others.. Is there any problem doing this? Or having nrpe+nagios in the same machine is ok?

I've followed all the instructions in nagios documentation to install the nrpe agent in a remote host, but the daemon nrpe is not listening on port.. that means I can't even test it localhost!
netstat -at | grep nrpe
returns nothing.
You added the nrpe entry to your /etc/services file - done
The only_from directive in the /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe file contains an entry for "127.0.0.1" - done
xinetd is installed and started - done
Check the system log files for references about xinetd or nrpe and fix any problems that are reported - syslog empty..
Installed lsof and lsof +M -i4:
xinetd 25680 root 5u IPv4 75987 TCP *:nrpe (LISTEN)
Is there anything else I can do to correct this? I configured this yesterday and it was working ok.. but today when got into computer it stopped working
The communication between nagios and nrpe agent in the monitored host, can be without SSL? The problem is that I have 2 different versions of debian running on the machines and there are problems related to the libssl-dev package!

when i run below command i am getting the successfull out put local system and remote system

NRPE v2.12
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H <nagiosserverip>
CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake.
We have Nagios running on a server, and are installing NRPE as a daemon on web servers we need to monitor. I'm two servers in and have hit a small snag. The two servers we're currently trying to monitor are, to the best of our knowledge, very similar (Centos 5.4, Apache, MySQL, PHP etc etc), and the installations of NRPE on them should be the same. One is being monitored just fine, however we can't check on the other one without including the -n switch (to disable SSL) in the check_nrpe call. If we don't, however, the error we get is, "CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.". In /var/log/messages on the machine that fails we see:
May 24 17:23:49 ourserver xinetd[23583]: START: nrpe pid=27932 from=123.123.123.123
May 24 17:23:59 ourserver nrpe[27932]: Could not read request from client, bailing out...
May 24 17:23:59 ourserver xinetd[23583]: EXIT: nrpe status=0 pid=27932 duration=10(sec)
The only kind of related thing I can think of that's different between the two machines is that one (the one that works) has actually had an SSL certificate installed on it, for the site it hosts.
I I'm currently working on Nagios Core 3.2.2, and I'm trying to set up a mail notification. I already install postfix and mailx. And I'm able to send a mail via Ubuntu. I checked this with the command: echo "mail test" | mailx -s "test subject" mail address.But I don't know what to do next. I'v tried many different suggestions that I found on goolge, but nothing seems to work.

I am unable to open nagios web page on another machine. where iam able to see nagios page on server where i have installed nagios. but another machine if i put server ip in browser its authenticate for nagiosusername & password but after putting same. getting below error.
The webpage cannot be found HTTP 404 Most likely causes: There might be a typing error in the address. If you clicked on a link, it may be out of date.
What you can try: Retype the address. Go back to the previous page. Go to and look for the information you want. More information
can any one provide the steps to install and configure Nagios in Redhat Linux machine?

Here is my PoSTFIX CONFIGURATION:
I have Nagios working and the check_logfiles plugin installed on my Ubuntu box and NSClient ++ installed on my windows box. My end goal is to be able to get the check_logfiles plugin to flag certain words in Windows Log Files. I can call the check_logfiles from the Ubuntu command line and it works fine when I look at a local log file on the Nagios box. If I try to do something similar but point to a remote windows file the process fails. I have NRPE enabled and I think working on the Windows machine. Before I post Config files etc can someone tell me if my approach is correct? Should I be calling the check_logfiles plugin from the Nagios box or do I need to install the Windows version of Check_logfiles on the remote machine and then make some sort of reference to it in the NSC.ini file on the Windows box.
