plugin timeout

[Evan Mann]

Increase the plugin timeout on your service using the -t flag

I set my check_ping to -t 20 for a 20 second timeout since some of my
connections have varying latency issues and I was getting a lot of false
responses.  You are probably having the same issue.

Subject: [Nagios-users] plugin timeout


hello,

after installing nagios 1.0 and plugins 1.3.0 beta 2, i am getting the error
"CRITICAL: Plugin timed out after 10 seconds" about 3 out of every 50 checks
for the check_ping plugin. I'm thinking this is the nagios server, but the
CPU load is less than 1%.

i have the services entry set to

max_check_attempts	3
normal_check_attempts	3


any help would be greatly appreciated.

regards

john
