Does it work for any host/service? Did you perform your testing of your script as the nagios user? I presume that nagios was restarted or reloaded after modifying the timeout above. > Is there any possibility that this is generated by the check-host-alive > plugin and it escalates ? or something like that ... ? No, the output information from a host check is not down-populated to all its services. The check really is timing out. > any ideeas ? I would log entry and exit times from your script to see if it really is taking >90 seconds to run as well as log important milestones within the script (fping start, fping output, fping end, snmpwalk start, output and end, etc). I would also verify that it runs as expected by running the command definition exactly as specified as the nagios user. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
