I have no idea, I have the /etc/xinetd.d/check_mk created by checkmk, I only changed the only_from line:
service check_mk
{
type = UNLISTED
port = 6556
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/bin/check_mk_agent
# To avoid intentional or unintentional overload due to too many parallel
# queries from one source we set this parameter. It limits the number of
# concurrent connections per source address. If you need more requests
# per source system, you can of course increase or remove this value
# (https://github.com/tribe29/checkmk/pull/157)
per_source = 3
# listen on IPv4 AND IPv6 when available on this host
#flags = IPv6
# If you use fully redundant monitoring and poll the client
# from more then one monitoring servers in parallel you might
# want to use the agent cache wrapper:
#server = /usr/bin/check_mk_caching_agent
# configure the IP address(es) of your Nagios server here:
only_from = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 127.0.0.1
# Don't be too verbose. Don't log every check. This might be
# commented out for debugging. If this option is commented out
# the default options will be used for this service.
log_on_success =
disable = no
}
I never did anything else and they always worked, is there something else to do?
