===Error: Could not stat() command file '/var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd'!===
===Error: Could not stat() command file '/var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd'!===
The external command file may be missing, Nagios may not be running, and/or Nagios may not be checking  external commands.
That's apache missing read rights to the path.
An error occurred while attempting to commit your command for processing.
 
What it seems to mean is that the apache user can't access the file, because it's owned by nagios.nagios
The rights to '/var/lib/nagios3/rw/' are plain wrong for this. I added www-data to group nagios and
chmod g+rwx /var/lib/nagios3/rw
 
Restarting nagios and apache might be a good idea :)

NRPE: Unable to read output

This could mean the plugins are not installed ( yes, on debian nrpe comes without those :)


CHECK_NRPE: Error receiving data from daemon.

Possibly SSL version mismatch, try check_nrpe -n

(No output returned from plugin)

Most likely ssl mismatch again

Error: Could not stat() command file '/var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd'!

That's apache missing read rights to the path.
