Nagios "CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds" problems with service and host Checks.
- by Kristiaan
Hi Everyone,
got a little bit of a problem with a Nagios system we are using in our office, which has only recently started appearing.
what i would like to know really is the best solution to resolve this problem as ive done a bit of reading on it and there seems to be lots of different ways to solve it..
basically at random points throughout the day and on random hosts / services we will get a Critical warning flagged up that something is not behaving as it should, when we investigate 9 times out of 10 we end up with this as an error message.
"SERVICE ALERT: SERVERNAME ;NSClient++ Version;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds"
indicating the service or host has timed out, where do i go about setting the timeouts so this stops ? ive read that some of the plugin timesouts are as low as 10 seconds...
thanks
Kris
