Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios is logging Service Check Timed Out for certain service
2009/12/21 Yu Watanabe yu.watan...@jp.fujitsu.com: Hello Jim. I still cannnot solve why this had occured. So , would you please give us an advice? In the previous mail , I have realized that the detail about the situation was not articulated. Following are the details about the situation: 1. About the log checking process: There is one active check and one passive service check to do the job. The active check service scans the log file using the pre defined regexpression. If there are any lines that matches the regex, it send the result to the passive service. 2. Only the active check for log checkin process returns Service Timed Out All the other services but the corresponding active check were returning proper check result. 3. The active check itself was not executed. This, I found out by writing a debug line in the active check plugin. I wrote a debug line at the very top of the source code but even though the check time came , the debug log wasn't created. The most suspicious fact is 2 and 3. If the the reason was completely dependent on the plugin, there must be some kind of debug log created, but since the plugin itself was not executed , it is becoming a little bit tricky. Would it possibe to here your opinion about this ? Thank you Yu Watanabe I am sorry Yu, but I do not see why you have an active check service sending results to a passive check service. If you could provide the relevant service and command definitions, the plugins used and any other scripts and configs which are relevant, it might be easier to understand.

Thank you for the reply and sorry for the late reply from me. Well , my situation was using plugin that scans through the syslog file and whenever any regular expression match occurs it sends an passive check alert to nagios. Weird thing was there was existing log file but nagios plugin itself was not executed. Yu Watanabe Is your problem solved now? If not, the first thing which I would mention is that if it is a passive check you almost certainly want to disable active checks for that service in Nagios.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios is logging Service Check Timed Out for certain service
Hello Jim Uh, I'm afraid the problem isn't solved yet. First of all , my explanation wasn't enough. The sequence of the syslog checking was the following: 1. Scan through the syslog file (Active Check) 2. If any error exist, transfer to passive service in Nagios (Passive Check) So I have defined 2 services in Nagios , 1 Active service check and 1 Passive service check. However the problem was above 1 wasn't executed from Nagios. Yu Watanabe Jim Avery さんは書きました: 2009/12/1 Yu Watanabe yu.watan...@jp.fujitsu.com: Hello Jim.

Has anyone had such experience? Yes. It means that the check is taking longer than either the plugin timeout or nagios' master timeout. There are many reasons why this could be happening but the most common are that the remote system is slow to respond or network problems between the nagios machine and the remote system are present. It could also be caused by problems with external systems as well such as DNS. There are far too many factors to give you a specific answer. You'll need to do some digging into events around that time on your network and systems in order to discover the cause. I'd suggest starting by discovering all the things that these problem checks have in common and check each for potential cause. -- Marc -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
