Nagios is logging "Service Check Timed Out" for certain service

[Yu Watanabe]

Hello Jim.

I still cannnot solve why this had occured.
So , would you please give us an advice?

In the previous mail , I have realized that 
the detail about the situation was not articulated.

Following are the details about the situation:

1. About the log checking process:
  There is one active check and one passive service check to do the job.

  The active check service scans the log file using the pre defined regexpression.
  If there are any lines that matches the regex, it send the result to the passive service.

2. Only the active check for log checkin process returns "Service Timed Out"
  All the other services but the corresponding active check were returning proper 
  check result. 

3. The active check itself was not executed.
  This, I found out by writing a debug line in the active check plugin.
  I wrote a debug line at the very top of the source code but even though the 
  check time came , the debug log wasn't created.

The most suspicious fact is 2 and 3. If the the reason was completely dependent on the plugin,
there must be some kind of debug log created, but since the plugin itself was not 
executed , it is becoming a little bit tricky.

Would it possibe to here your opinion about this ?

Thank you 
Yu Watanabe
