It’s invoked by NRPE and works fine on many systems until the number of files gets really high and the script takes some time to run to come up with a result. Now I have 3 systems that show critical due to a status of “(Service Check Timed Out)”. I assume because it takes too long to run the script on those systems and nagios is giving up before it gets a result. I’ve seen it take 30+ minutes to run this script (to give you an idea of how long it can take). It could even be significantly worse..<o:p></o:p> <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p> I modified my check_nrpe command definition in checkcommands.cfg and added “-to 2700” which I thought would fix this problem. However it doesn’t.. It’s supposed to set “number of seconds before connection attempt times out. Default itmeout is 10 seconds”. As you can see by the output below it’s still timing out after 10 seconds. Is this set someplace else? And yes I did restart Nagios..<o:p></o:p> <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p> <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p> # 'check_nrpe' command definition<o:p></o:p> define command{<o:p></o:p> command_name check_nrpe<o:p></o:p> command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ -to 2700<o:p></o:p> }<o:p></o:p> [root@PS-NAT etc]# ../libexec/check_nrpe 10.1.82.31 -c check_mailsendeta<o:p></o:p> CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.<o:p></o:p> <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p> <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p> Gerald Wichmann<o:p></o:p> Senior Systems Development Engineer<o:p></o:p> Zantaz, Inc.<o:p></o:p> 925.598.3099 (w)<o:p></o:p> <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html> This e-mail has been captured and archived by the ZANTAZ Digital Safe(tm) service.
