time outs while doing check on specific devices

[bosecorp]

just what my command looks like now

$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -t 30

[cmerchant]

Let us know if that works, thanks.

[bosecorp]

same deal

If it is persistent, is this network device have routing issues back to the Nagios server, is this check going through a firewall? Can you do the following from the Nagios server:

Code: Select all

traceroute xx.xx.xx.xx

What type of network device(s) are these 4 IP's.

sorry I gave you the wrong command that these devices are using

$USER1$/check_icmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$,$ARG2$ -c $ARG3$,$ARG4$ -p 5

[cmerchant]

Just add the -t 30

Code: Select all

$USER1$/check_icmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$,$ARG2$ -c $ARG3$,$ARG4$ -p 5 -t 30

looking good so far

[cmerchant]

I will keep this thread open. Keep us updated. Thanks.

worked. only 1 device is now having problems

You could increase the timeout on the 1 device. Can you do a traceroute on the device from the XI server? Don't really need the output displayed here, just curious if this is an intermittent error, or a routing issue?
