Timeout and critical error false alarms

[Alex Griffin]

TBH, I'm really not sure. Those settings look fine to me. If I had to 
guess I'd say this was caused by network issues, where the plugin, for 
some reason, is unable to connect to the host every so often. I'm not 
sure a longer timeout would help. Are there any unreliable points in the 
network between your Nagios server and this host (e.g. wireless 
connection, maybe a virtual machine, etc.)?
