Nagios & NRPE plugins Connection refused - networking

I am facing on connection problem when I run NRPE checks from Nagios Server.. "Connection refused".
Environment :
- Nagios Server
- Linux Centos 7 Client
From Client side, seems working :

NMAP command output is strange for me, why is it closed ?
I notice that Firewalld service are stopped for troubleshooting reasons..
It is probably more networks reasons, but I need help :)

The log shows the following:
Oct 13 14:06:55 client nrpe[4027]: Server listening on 127.0.0.1 port
5666.
If the server is listening on the localhost IP address (127.0.0.1), it will only be able to accept connections on port 5666 which originate on the same server. If you try to connect from a different server, the connection will fail.

try to open your ports in both client side and remote server , this problem related to security groups , try to ping command in both systems and tell me the output.

Ubuntu Server can not connect ssh from outside

We have ubuntu server installed on our desktop machine. It is connected modem with ethernet port. We can access it with ssh via inside of our network. But can not from outside.
Here is what we've done so far:
We have static ip
My professor made this i dont know what it is
Our ubuntu server machine always picks 192.168.1.200
We have port forwarding
when I run ssh maviarge#213.XXXXXXX from our LAN which holds ubuntu server machine

What's wrong?
have you try this
sudo ufw allow from any to any port 22 proto tcp
or
sudo ufw allow ssh

Unable to reach Google Compute over port 9000

I have a google compute running CentOS 7, and I wrote up a quick test to try and communicate with it over port 9000 (from my home PC) - but I'm unexpectedly getting network errors.
This happens both with my test script (which attempts to send a payload) and even with plink.exe (which I'm just using to check the port availability).
>plink.exe -v -raw -P 9000 <external_IP>
Connecting to <external_IP> port 9000
Failed to connect to <external_IP>: Network error: Connection refused
Network error: Connection refused
FATAL ERROR: Network error: Connection refused
I've added my external IP to googles firewall (https://console.cloud.google.com/networking/firewalls) and set to allow ingress traffic over port 9000 (it's the lowest priority, at 1000)
I also updated firewalld in CentOS to allow TCP traffic over the port:
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start firewalld.service
[foo#bar ~]$ sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=9000/tcp --permanent
success
[foo#bar ~]$ sudo firewall-cmd --reload
success
I've confirmed my listener is running on port 9000
[foo#bar ~]$ netstat -npae | grep 9000
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1000 18381 1201/python3
By default, CentOS 7 doesn't use iptables (just to be sure, I confirmed it wasn't running)
Am I missing something?
NOTE: Actual external IP replaced with <external_IP> placeholder
Update:
If I nmap my listener over port 9000 from the CentOS 7 compute instance over a local IP, like 127.0.0.1 I get some results. Interestingly, if I make the same nmap call over the servers external IP -- nadda. So this has to be a firewall, right?
external call
[foo#bar~]$ nmap <external_IP> -Pn

In this case software running on the backend VM must be listening any IP (0.0.0.0 or ::), your's is listening to "127.0.0.1:9000" and it should be "0.0.0.0:9000".
The way to fix that it's to change the service config to listen to 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1 .
Cheers.

zabbix server connecting to mariadb host: can't connect to local MySQL server through socket

I have a Dockerized Zabbix server (3.4) connecting to a CentOS 7 host w/ Mariadb.
This one works fine:
# zabbix_get -s <ipOfRemoteHost> -p 10050 -k mysql.version
mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 5.5.56-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1
This one does not:
# zabbix_get -s <ipOfRemoteHost> -p 10050 -k mysql.ping
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!
From /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.d/userparameter_mysql.conf:
UserParameter=mysql.version,mysql -V
UserParameter=mysql.ping,HOME=/etc/zabbix mysqladmin ping | grep -c alive
It does read the .my.cnf in the HOME dir, when change host=localhost to host=127.0.0.1 I get:
# zabbix_get -s <ipOfRemoteHost> -p 10050 -k mysql.ping
mysqladmin: connect to server at '127.0.0.1' failed
error: 'Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (13)'
Check that mysqld is running on 127.0.0.1 and that the port is 3306.
You can check this by doing 'telnet 127.0.0.1 3306'
Also tried adding the username and password directly in the command, but same result:
UserParameter=mysql.ping,mysqladmin -uroot --password="mypassword" ping | grep -c alive
Running that command on the host works fine:
mysqladmin -uroot --password="mypassword" ping | grep -c alive
1
The agent itself seems to run fine:
$ sudo -u zabbix zabbix_agentd -t mysql.ping
mysql.ping [t|1]
Socket is available:
# ls -l /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
srwxrwxrwx. 1 mysql mysql 0 Nov 5 18:01 /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Process details:
# ps -ef | grep mysqld
mysql 3218 1 0 18:01 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --basedir=/usr
mysql 3488 3218 99 18:01 ? 06:08:26 /usr/libexec/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --plugin-dir=/usr/lib64/mysql/plugin --log-error=/var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log --pid-file=/var/run/mariadb/mariadb.pid --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
systemd+ 6547 6530 0 Oct31 ? 00:06:15 mysqld --character-set-server=utf8 --collation-server=utf8_bin
Any suggestions?
Note: don't think it is relevant but just in case, on the host I also have a Dockerized mysql running on port 3307
localhost/127.0.0.1 in the container is not the same as localhost/127.0.0.1 on the host, because of cgroup network namespacing. Use proper IP in .my.cnf or run container in the host network namespace (docker run --net host ...).
If you want to use a socket for MySQL connection from the container, then you will need to use Docker volumes. You may have problems with socket permissions, socket owner, ... I recommend IP connecting approach.
The cause is selinux. selinux is prohibiting the Zabbix agent from accessing the mysql socket file and possibly other resources.
Run tail -f /var/log/audit/audit.log while you try zabbix_get and you'll see the denials in real-time.
Then you'll need to devise an selinux policy that enables access as needed.

I can connect digital ocean droplet via SSH connected in home network but not in work network

Scenario...
WiFi Network home = Can connect with my Digital Ocean servers fine via SSH;
WiFi Network work = Can't connect with my Digital Ocean servers via SSH;
WiFi Network work SSH debug:
OpenSSH_6.6.1, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014

Anyone?
Try to check with nc
nc -zvw4 your_host 22
If not open - probably 22 port not allowed in your network, you can ask your network administrator about it
on your server make forward from 443 to 22 via iptables, for example:
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 22

Nmap Error when using the "–script" arg

i just installed the nmap network scanner,
and when i try to use it whith the "-script" parameter, it doesn't work:
example:
soufiane#soufiane-cvc:/usr/local$ nmap -p143,993 -Pn –script imap-capabilities 127.0.0.1
Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2015-09-03 10:07 WEST

i'm using ElementaryOS Freya (ubuntu 12.04 i guess).
any ideas ??
thanks.
It should be –-script (with two dashes), not -script.
EDIT: (following your comment)
No problem here. My output:
