Hi Sean,

If it's a standard plugin (from nagios-plugins), you can normally use the "-t" option in your check command definition to set the timeout to 300 seconds (i.e. 5 minutes.) E.g. "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H [IP address] -w 1000,20% -c 2000,50% -t 300"

Hi guys
Im fairly new to Nagios and in need of some assistence with the following: How would I go about extending the plugin time for this to 5 min. There is a lot of traffic on our clients lines which makes the 10 second interval to short for them to respond. Following is the mail output from Nagios ***** Nagios *****

Notification Type: PROBLEM
Host: xxx.xxx.co.za
State: DOWN
Address: x.x.x.x
Info: CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds
Any help will be much appreciated
