Timeouts are maintained in the nagios.cfg and in how you call each plugin. Most plugins will have a timeout option that you can change by modifying your command to pass an additional flag. For example './ check_nrpe -H HOSTNAME -t 30 -c CMD' would give you a timeout of 30 seconds. As long as you are not setting a timeout value for the plugin greater than that set globally for Nagios in the nagios.cfg you should be fine. Otherwise adjust the global settings *CAREFULLY* as you may run into potential performance problems. Normally with plugin issues you should run the plugin from the commandline as user nagios to find useful help information (passing '- h' or '--help') and debugging problems.
