I have 1 host machine(well several, but 1 that is annoying me). Windows 2008 Standard. NSCLient version 0.1.1.105
I have 9 checks on it (including host alive) all checks for this host I have set with -t 60 through out the day, it will say socket timeout (for one check or the other). Usually right after, it recovers. I have been logged onto the machine while it's doing this, and it isn't busy. The system has 2 quad-core cpus, and 10 gigs of ram.
Windows firewall is off, and it is on the same vlan as the nagios server. Like I said, it will recover for a bit, then report a socket time out again.....so it isn't a port issue.
Any ideas why this is happeneing?

What is the actual check you are running?

Re: 1 host socket-time-out sometimes
it doesn't matter..... disk space, wmi, cpu, memory
it rarely has an issue with more than one at a time. it will have the socket time out for a few min, then recover, time out again, recover...and it will change on which drive its having an issue with, cpu, memory etc. like I said, it's only with this one machine.

Maybe an interface going bad? Any errors in the event log, specifically pertaining to its network or the nsclient service?

Re: 1 host socket-time-out sometimes
If the configs are exactly the same as other monitored windows servers, I would guess that this is an issue with the server itself. I seem to recall an MS bug where after a certain amount of uptime (around a year I believe), the tcp/ip stack can get wonky. Have you tried disabling and re-enabling the nic? Rebooting the server?

jeepers!!!
I just checked the event log. SYstem has been up for 43793142 seconds. which is 506.8 days. Yeah.....I think this system needs to be rebooted.
