Hi, I have an fc17 box with nagios-3.4.4 and using the clamd plugin, among others, to check on my systems. For some reason the clamd plugin very frequently times out when run through nrpe:
command[check_procs_clamd]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_clamd -H /var/spool/amavisd/clamd.sock -t 15 Even with a timeout period of 15s, it still very frequently reports the following: [1367955948] SERVICE ALERT: mail01;PROCS-clamd;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 15 seconds [1367955958] SERVICE ALERT: mail01;PROCS-clamd;OK;SOFT;2;CLAMD OK - 3.568 second response time on socket /var/spool/amavisd/clamd.sock [PONG] This occurs on multiple servers, not just this mail01 system, and even when the system is idle. The plugin comes from the package nagios-plugins-tcp-1.4.16-5.fc17.x86_64 and I'm using clamav-0.97.7. What is the procedure the check_clamd process uses to query the socket? What could be the reason for this timeout occurring so frequently? Could it be an issue with the maximum number of connections for clamd? Any time I run the command manually, it succeeds, and comes back instantly. Thanks for any ideas, Alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
