I am running Nagios 3.0.6 with Nagios Plugins 1.4.13 on Suse Linux 11.1. Windows servers have NSClient++ 0.2.7Every few minutes Nagios detects that a servers/service is down because it times out and in the status information shows: Critical - Socket Timeout After 10 Seconds. Once it redoes its check on those particular servers/services it shows that it is all good and other servers/services show "Critical - Socket Timeout After 10 Seconds". I looked for a place to change the timeout from 10 seconds to 20 but could not find one. Any help would be appreciated.
The timeout may be coming from the plugin rather than nagios itself. For example, I occasional see check_by_ssh time out if packet loss gets a bit high, or if there's a DNS issue somewhere. In that case, the timeout is set as part of the command line, and I've modified my check commands accordingly so that I can tune it:
define command {
command_name check_disk_remote
command_line $USER1$/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t $USER4$ -
C "$USER1$/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$"
} The '-t' on check_by_ssh alters its timeout value.Check the help for the plugins which you see reporting timeouts to see if you can tweak their timeout values.
HTH, Matt
