I am just glad that we don't have to send up/down messages to our CEO.... He would think we can't keep anything running.... (or paper/toner loaded in a printer) :)

That's the way I take a look @ the performance of my linux hosts Kind regards, Dennis Hünseler -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick M. Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2007 8:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Nagios-users] Critical Plugin Timed Out Hi all, I've been running Nagios 2.6 for about 6 months now, and every now and then we get critical pages about a machine being down, or at least Nagios can't connect to it. It causes the CEO to freak out and believe something is up with our network. To me, it seems like the box is getting stressed out during the tests and is causing the plugins to time out.
