Heya
Running Nagios 2.0b6.
I have a service check that runs fine most of the time, but occasionally (about once a day) the check takes too long to run, and hits the Service check timeout limit.
It appears that hitting this limit is treated as an immediate hard error, even though I have max_check_attempts for the service equal to 5. I would prefer it to be a soft error, so that I can retry withouth sending out notification et al. Is this possible?
One item that may be affecting the issue is that the service was in a hard warning state at the time. I believe that this should not make a difference, as a service in a hard warning that gets a critical return goes into a soft critical normally. I think this is just a special property of the service check timeout trigger.
I don’t want to increase the service check timeout limit, because I don’t want to affect the other 99% of the services that are fine.
Thanks
-Andrew
