Help on Alerts Nagios

[Jack A. Kanimea]

Help, 
I have also been received alerts with funny error messages the Alerts is saying the plugin timed out but say the Host is down as below.
______________________________________________________
***** Nagios  *****

Notification Type: PROBLEM
Host: r_suv_health
State: DOWN
Address: 10.1.56.1
Info: $

Date/Time: $
________________________________________________________

The nagios webpage shows it as Plugin timed out. 
________________________________________________________________________________________________
r_suv_health DOWN 01-18-2005 09:53:37 0d 8h 21m 22s CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds  
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Initially a thought the host was down but when I do a 

[root at whois etc]# ping 10.1.56.1
PING 10.1.56.1 (10.1.56.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.1.56.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=254 time=3.00 ms

64 bytes from 10.1.56.1: icmp_seq=7 ttl=254 time=3.05 ms


Any ideas on where the problem may be. I have also setup other hosts also its showing the Ping OK . Am bit confuse here any ideas cause if it was ping problem the other host would have been giving the alerts. Any ideas / suggestion / pointer 

thanks in advance,
Jack K
