Last ditch effort

[Aaron Levitt]

Greets everyone-

I already posted this question already before, but never got to a
solution.  I wanted to post one last time in hopes I come up with a
solution before I am forced to go back to netsaint.

I have recently upgraded to nagios 1.1 from an older release of netsaint
after a long time of faithful service.  Since the upgrade, we have been
getting some random timeouts, with an average of 1 or 2 a day.  All the
information I really have to go on, is the output from nagios.  The mail
contains "Info: CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds".  The logs
have the same information, but nothing more helpful.  I'm not sure where
it's getting the 10 seconds from.  Initially I thought it was nrpe
timing out, but it seems to be random services and hosts as well.

So far, I have changed max_concurrent_checks and various timeout values
in nagios.cfg.  As well as changing max_check_attempts and
normal_check_interval to make sure there wasn't too much going on at the
same time (which really shouldn't matter since nagios is only monitoring
about 60 hosts).  I poked through the source code but couldn't find
anything with a 10 second timeout.

Currently nagios is running on it's own box, no other services are
running on it.  It's a 2.4.20 kernel on Redhat 9 and the hardware is a
PIII 800Mhz and it's got 384Mb of RAM.  Nothing very special, but that
should be enough I would think.

All of these false alarms are making nagios completely unreliable, but
it has so many new enhancements, I would really like to continue to use
it.  If anyone has any suggestions, please send them my way.  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
