We have upgraded NCP Agent to 2.0.5 on most of the servers and appears NCP Agent starting issue after server reboot is fixed.
I also suppose that all services for a given host timeout, or is there just a particular one?
It is all the services that timeout

@Sampath.Basireddy, I see. Well, if upgrading NCPA on that particular server is not an option you could try adding the following line inside /usr/local/nagios/nagios.cfg

Code: Select all

service_check_timeout_state=u

After that please run

Code: Select all

service nagios restart

Thank You @npolovenko, but am looking at a global level.

This issue is not necessarily with one particular server, but at a whole environment level.

Last week I have seen the service check timed out issue on multiple servers which are already having NCPA v2.0.5. It could be for various reasons like network performance or server performance etc.

@Sampath.Basireddy, The option that I described in my last post is supposed to apply to all hosts globally, as long as you add it to the nagios.cfg on your Nagios XI server.
