Hi
I have a Nagios error as follows "CRITICAL - Plugin timed out". The server is monitoring systems using SSH.
What can I do to troubleshoot this problem? Thank you.

SSH to the nagios host, become the nagios user, run the plugin with correct arguments and look at the results. If the plugin takes a long time to run you may need to increase the timeout in nagios.cfg.

It seems to run for 10 secs and I get the CRITICAL TIMEOUT warning.
Which timeout value do I need to change? I thought it would be service_check_timeout which has been set to 60 seconds. When I run the check, it seems to run only for 10 secs.
Here are the options I have:
service_check_timeout=60
host_check_timeout=30
event_handler_timeout=30
notification_timeout=30
ocsp_timeout=5
perfdata_timeout=5
