False Alarms?

Greets everyone-

I have recently upgraded to nagios 1.1 from an older release of
netsaint.  Since the upgrade, we have been getting some random timeouts,
with an average of 1 or 2 a day.  All the information I really have to
go on, is the output from nagios.  The mail contains "Info: CRITICAL -
Plugin timed out after 10 seconds".  The logs have the same information,
but nothing helpful.  I'm not sure where it's getting the 10 seconds
from.

This is the template I am using for my hosts:
define host{
        name                            generic-host 
        check_command                   check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts              3
        process_perf_data               1
        retain_status_information       1
        retain_nonstatus_information    1
        flap_detection_enabled          1
        notifications_enabled           1
        notification_interval           15
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            d,u,r
        register                        0 ; not registering template
        }

And this is the template for my services:
define service{
        name                    generic-service ; name of template
        active_checks_enabled   1
        max_check_attempts      3
        event_handler_enabled   1
        flap_detection_enabled  1
        process_perf_data       1
        normal_check_interval   3
        retry_check_interval    3
        check_period            24x7
        notification_interval   15
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    w,u,c,r
        notifications_enabled   1
        contact_groups          sysadmins
        register                0 ; Don't register template
        }

Any ideas how to stop these false alarms?

Thanks in advance!
