Nagios Support Forum

there was a contractor that set up the Nagios, so I am not sure.
can i see some more details about the plugin somewhere?

hi hsmith,

the remote computer is running centos 5, and the plugin is check_updates. Security updates.
I hope this is enough information.

define service {
use computername,linux-check_updates
host_name computername
#service_description Security Updates
}

Hi,

I'm getting these critical message in nagios for one of my linux hosts "YUM CRITICAL: Yum nagios plugin has self terminated after exceeding the timeout (30 seconds)"
I not sure how to fix this, any ideas?
