[Nagiosplug-help] Problems when check scheduled by nagios

[Don McEwen]

Hi - Hoping someone will have some insight or run into this before. I have 
nagios server loaded on a Solaris server and am having problems with a check on 
Redhat Linux server. I wrote a simple perl script to check ace server check_ace. 
It works on the local machine and with check_nrpe on the local machine. On my 
nagios server, I can run it fine by hand with 

    /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check__nrpe -H remote_host -c check_ace -t 60
Returns 
    OK: Found 8 processes running

But when I setup to have nagios run it I get warning - nagios.log shows
    SERVICE ALERT: server_name;Check ACE Services; WARNING; SOFT 1; (null)
    SERVICE ALERT: server_name;Check ACE Services; WARNING; SOFT 2; (null)
    SERVICE ALERT: server_name;Check ACE Services; WARNING; SOFT 3; (null)

So it appears that there is no reply from the remote server or the reply is 
null? I found that with the normal timeout of 10 sec it didn't complete in time 
so I checked/changed nrpe.cfg on my server to:
    command_timeout=60
    connection_timeout=300
and nagios.cfg
    service_check_timeout=60
    host_check_timeout=30
    event_handler_timeout=30
    notification_timeout=30
    ocsp_timeout=5
    perfdata_timeout=5

So, do I need to change all the nagios.cfg timeout's to 60? How can I find more 
info than the log is showing now or can anyone shed light on the log data? 


Thanks in advance
- Don
