As your logserver database has grown it takes longer to do a query 
against it.

This means that the query now takes a sufficiently long time for the 
test to timeout. What you need to do is:

1. Switch the check to being a passive check (as per my recommendation 
in the documentation on the NagiosExchange page), otherwise you'd have 
to increase the nagios global check timeout which affects all plugins 
and is not my preferred solution.
2. Increase the timeout on the plugin if necessary using the -t switch.
