Subject: [Nagios-users] random nrpe socket timeout

 


hello 
i have troubles in our infrastructure with nrpe giving critical alerts when
the nrpe socket timeout. 
this happens randomly from time to time in several servers. 
i really have no clue what is the cause, the service is up between two
minutes, but the alerts causes sms to be sent for 'falses alarms' as there
is nothing wrong with the servers just the nrpe plugin that for a few
instants cannot contact the server. 
is there a way to troubleshoot this? which side should it be troubleshooted?
server side or client side. 
nagios.log doesn't give many info: just : 
disk_root;CRITICAL;notify-by-email;CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10
seconds. 

Check the NRPE Documentation, specifically the troubleshooting section. It
sounds like the commands you are executing are taking longer than ten
seconds to execute. Try increasing the timeout value for these commands.

 

Example from the NRPE documentation: /usr/local/nagios check_nrpe -H
localhost -c somecommand -t 30
