Connection refused/socket time out

[keshav murthy]

Hey guys,

My environment


   - 2 nagios servers
   - 1 nagios server monitoring more than 920 clients and another more than
   700 clients
   - Clients are both Windows and Unix servers
   - *No firewalls*.
   - Added both the nagios server's IP address on all the client's config
   file.

Issue

   - Occasionally we get connection refused sometimes and Socket timeout
   sometimes.
   - During such times, it generates CRITICAL alert and our ticketing system
   generates lots of tickets

Assumptions

   - Network slowness between nagios server and client.
   - Client takes more time to respond to the check and nrpe timeouts.
   - NRPE dies on the nagios server.


Clarification needed

   - What are the various causes for these alerts? (are the assumptions
   correct, if wrong please clarify.)
   - Is it possible to change them as "Warning"?
   - If yes for above, how?

Regards
Kesava
