<DIV><SPAN class=733595616-20122004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Does
anyone know of a way to stop NRPE from reporting a critical if the connection is
refused or the plugin times out?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=733595616-20122004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I'd
like it to report a UNKNOWN instead, as in 90% of these cases, the problem
clears up shortly. The other 10% of the time, we already know the box is
down.</FONT></SPAN></DIV></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=405321420-20122004>I'd
like this as well... so, I modified the source code here. I also
made a similar change for check_nt since we use the pNSclient agent for
windows. It's actually a very simple change (if you know C) although the
developers will naturally want this on a configurable option which increases
their work. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=405321420-20122004>Actually, I have 'unknown' if the connect times out or
is refused, but 'warning' if it connects but then doesnt return a value in time
(since this probably indicates an overloaded box). Your choice may be
different.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
