How To Fix NRPE “Could not complete SSL handshake” Error

Published Date Author: , Posted December 13th, 2010 at 8:38:46am

If you get this obnoxious error fron Nagios/NRPE:
"CHECK_NRPE: Error - Could not complete SSL handshake"

Make sure to comment out the following line in /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg:
#allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1

Use this to test on MacOSX:
/opt/local/libexec/nagios/check_nrpe -H {IP}

NOTE: Be sure to fully stop and restart nrpe!
