[Nagiosplug-help] i have problem in plugin timeout

[lars.bruun-hansen at nordea.com]

Venkatesh,

 

I had the same problem as you and for my part the solution was to look
at the timeout accepted on check_nrpe rather than looking at the timeout
on the individual plugins. You can do that using the -t option on
check_nrpe. Even if the check plugin has an option to set the timeout
(as Hans suggests) you might experience that check_nrpe will in any case
time out before this. Therefore the timeout on check_nrpe is crucial.

 

For example I have two "remote_check" commands defined.

One uses the check_nrpe default timeout (10 sec) and the other allows 40
secs for the command to execute:

 

define command{

        command_name    remote_check

        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$ $ARG5$ $ARG6$

        }

 

#  Same as above but allow the remote check to run for long time. 

#  Used for checks that take long to execute, e.g. checks that requires
parsing of logs, etc.

define command{

        command_name    remote_check_long

        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -t 40 -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$ $ARG5$ $ARG6$

        } 

 

 

rgds,

 

Lars

I think there are two places you need to look.
 
First the plugin itself, i.e. the check_dig plugin for example allows
you to set a timeout and there are a couple of other no doubt. Changing
this is a matter of changing the check command in checkcommands.cfg (or
where ever you keep your check command configs) to include the proper
parameter and timeout value to suit your needs. In the case of the
check_dig example this is -t xx where xx is the number of seconds. 
 
The second place is in the main Nagios config (nagios.cfg) where the
global maximum times are defined for different sets of actions. There
you will find : 
 
service_check_timeout=30
host_check_timeout=30
event_handler_timeout=30
notification_timeout=30
ocsp_timeout=5
perfdata_timeout=30
 
I would say one of these two possebilities is where you need to look.
 
Cheers,
Hans
