These are not false alerts at all. You are experiencing poor performance
from your internet connection to your branch office, or perhaps the server
or network is experiencing congestion.
The first 2 log entries "soft" means that it indeed failed. But your config
likely requires 3 "soft" fails in a row to be considred "hard". Watch
nagios closely, and as soon as it reports a soft fail, try it manually.
Retry manually every minute to mimic Nagios's behavior. You'll see the
problem firsthand, which should help direct you to source of the real
problem, not Nagios.

Subject: [Nagios-users] false alerts
Hi,
Sometimes I get false alerts on nagios which says,
[10-14-2004 02:54:23] SERVICE ALERT: designs2;FTP;CRITICAL;SOFT;2;CRITICAL -
Socket timeout after 10 seconds
But within a min I get,
[10-14-2004 02:55:12] SERVICE ALERT: designs2;FTP;OK;SOFT;3;FTP OK - 1.004
second response time on port 21 [220 ProFTPD 1.2.9 Server (ProFTPD)
This is quite bugging since I get a lot of mails and it is confusing whether
the
server/service is really down or not. What is the reason for this?
The server which is being monitored is at our nearby company branch office.
This happpens for all services.
Can someone help out in this please?
With warm regards,
-Payal
