12 years ago Both should work, even mixed. Setting key=... on the worker and using keyfile=... in the neb. No matter if its set from commandline or config file as long as the key is the same. It's not supported to specify key= and keyfile= in the same config or at least you will get weird results.
Here is a little about the issue I have experienced with the encryption piece of gearmand and worker. Could not set encryption in either config. I would set encryption=on Set the key=foofoofoof00
On both neb and worker files.
Tried to even set the keyfile=/path/to/file
I kept receiving encryption errors on the worker node log file.
The only way I was to set encryption was to set it in the path of the broker string in nagios.conf
This is RHEL 5.8 x86_64 I went through the documentation supplied @ http://labs.consol.de/nagios/mod-gearman/ Again I have a work around or if that is how it is supposed to work. But the config files may be mis-leading if that is the case.
