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. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p> For example I have two "remote_check" commands defined.<o:p></o:p> One uses the check_nrpe default timeout (10 sec) and the other allows 40 secs for the command to execute:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> define command{<o:p></o:p> command_name remote_check<o:p></o:p> command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$ $ARG5$ $ARG6$<o:p></o:p> }<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> # 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{<o:p></o:p> command_name remote_check_long<o:p></o:p> command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 40 -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$ $ARG5$ $ARG6$<o:p></o:p> } <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> rgds,<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Lars<o:p></o:p></DIV> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left> <HR tabIndex=-1> From: nagiosplug-help-admin@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagiosplug-help-admin@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Hans Engelen Sent: 26. februar 2006 00:25 To: Nagiosplug-help@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagiosplug-help] i have problem in plugin timeout </DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>I think there are two places you need to look.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>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. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>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 : </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>service_check_timeout=30 host_check_timeout=30 event_handler_timeout=30 notification_timeout=30 ocsp_timeout=5 perfdata_timeout=30 </DIV> <DIV>I would say one of these two possebilities is where you need to look.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Cheers,</DIV> <DIV>Hans </DIV> <DIV>On 2/25/06, Venkatesh <<A href="mailto:venki_lin@fastmail.us">venki_lin@fastmail.us</A>> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE class=gmail_quote style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">hello all, i get lots of mail alerts as the plugin goes critical after some times ie 10 seconds and will be getting lot of mails, how can i increase the plugin timeout time and stop getting lots of mails from that. please advice and help me everyone regards venki -- Venkatesh <A href="mailto:venki_lin@fastmail.us">venki_lin@fastmail.us</A> -- <A href="http://www.fastmail.fm">http://www.fastmail.fm</A> - mmm...
