That fixed my problem. The 'multipath' command now takes longer to complete since upgrading to RHEL 4 Update 7. By adding the '-t 20' field to 'check_by_ssh', the time outs have now disappeared. Thanks.

It's bad for readers, responders, the Digests and archives and usually considered bad form. If you must have screenshots, post them to a public location and provide a full link (no TinyURLs please). > > QUESTION: How do I set up 'nagios' so that it will wait up to 15 > seconds for the service to complete? Quoting from a response this morning (changing NRPE timeout) -- "- nagios overall service plugin execution timeout. This should be higher than your highest plugin specific timeout -- $ grep timeout etc/nagios.cfg service_check_timeout=15 - And the plugin that NRPE is executing on the remote host will have a default timeout value as well. Standard plugins support a -t parameter (like check_nrpe) but you can always run '/path/to/plugin --help' to see if it is a parameter and what it expects." In this case, the plugin isn't NRPE but the blurb about 'Standard plugins' applies. check_by_ssh is a standard plugin that has a configurable timeout value. You'll need to adjust your check_by_ssh definition's command_line to include the '-t 15' parameter. > Please keep in mind that this service, check_ssh_multipath, worked > fine prior to the upgrade to RHEL 4.7 Stored but I don't think I'll need it. I've saved it in the cells that'll be killed by the wine tonight so it has a short TTL. -- Marc - Did someone say it's EOB Friday? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
