Hi, This message means that your webserver didn't respond to your request after 10s. It's the same as when your browser is waiting and suddendly stop and show an error page indicating that the webserver didn't respond.

Re: [Nagios-users] CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds
Most plugins time out after 10 seconds of not being able to contact a service (FTP, HTTP, etc). If the plugins are timing out after a short period of time, increase the timeout value for the plugin using the appropriate command line argument for that plugin. Try using a -t 12. I think that only the plugin timeout default value is 10 seconds, the other timeouts are higher. Someone else smarter than me can verify that.

Socket Timeout After 10 Seconds. Once it redoes its check on those

servers/services show "Critical - Socket Timeout After 10 Seconds".

The timeout may be coming from the plugin rather than nagios itself.
For example, I occasional see check_by_ssh time out if packet loss
gets a bit high, or if there's a DNS issue somewhere. In that case,
the timeout is set as part of the command line, and I've modified my
check commands accordingly so that I can tune it:
define command {
command_namecheck_disk_remote
command_line$USER1$/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t $USER4$ -
C "$USER1$/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$"
}
The '-t' on check_by_ssh alters its timeout value.
Check the help for the plugins which you see reporting timeouts to see
if you can tweak their timeout values.

Matt
