Something is causing a delay when your submit_check_result.sh script presumably attempts to use send_nsca to send a small bit of data to another host. Can you replicate it from the command line? You should be able to. > As far as I can tell there is no configuration to > increase the timeout limit (can it be increased by installing from ocsp_timeout in nagios.cfg. > source ?), but perhaps the message indicates another problem (network ?) Probably. If it's close to the documented submit_check_result, it's sending only a small bit of data and should only take a fraction of a second. I can use it to send data to two hosts in 0.011s. Maybe network problems or load on either end are causing a delay in the data transmission. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
