Description of problem: The firewall rule in the below link under "13.2.3. Configure NRPE" differs from description. ~~~~ https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_OpenStack_Platform/5/html/Installation_and_Configuration_Guide/sect-Configure_Nagios.html ~~~ The description points the port should be open for UDP but the rule is gove n for tcp so there is a difference between the description and example. ~~~~ Add an INPUT rule allowing UDP traffic on port 5666 to this file. The new rule must appear before any INPUT rules that REJECT traffic. -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5666 -j ACCEPT Save the changes to the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file. Restart the iptables service for the firewall changes to take effect. # service iptables restart For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7-based systems, run the following commands: # firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=5666/udp # firewall-cmd --add-port=5666/udp ~~~ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: The example and the description does not match. Expected results: The description of rule should match. Either it should be tcp or UDP Additional info: In a case customer reported that the NRPE was using tcp.
