check_by_ssh timeouts / how to work around?

[Charlie Reddington]

Hi,

I have a couple machines that spit out a warning similar to this:

WARNING - check_by_ssh: Remote command '/home/nagios/nagios-plugs/ 
check_disk' returned status 1

I believe this to be caused by the check itself is timing out. As when  
I try to login it will sometimes take up to a minute or two just to  
get a prompt.

The server will respond to ping, so I'm generally not totally  
concerned about it. And the checks usually clear up in 5 minutes or  
soon as the server gets whatever IO hog out of the way.

Is anyone else experiencing this, and if so how do you cope / deal  
with this?

Thanks,

Charlie
