Hi All for one particular server (mail.borken.com) it sporadically comes back "Socket timeout after 10 seconds " when doing smtp_checks. however, another server "outside" the cisco pix firewall works fine doing the same check. other checks involving mail.borken.com come back fine, so firewall doesn't appear to be an issue.
below is my configurations.... can anyone kindly point me to things I might want to look at? services.cfg : define service{ use generic-service host_name mail.works.com,mail.borken.com service_description SMTP is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 12 normal_check_interval 6 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups jlin notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_smtp } checkcommands.cfg : # 'check_smtp' command definition define command{ command_name check_smtp command_line $USER1$/check_smtp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ } ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
