Intermittent could not fetch information from server issue

Post by pbsindian »

Hi Team,
We are receiving intermittent "could not fetch information from server" alerts from all the Windows boxes added to Nagios XI monitoring. How do we deal with this issue?

Thanks,
Bhargava

Hi @pbsindian,

What agent are you using to monitor the Windows boxes?

Also, what version of Nagios Xi are you using, and if this was previously working, did you recently make any changes to the server or hosts?

Please let me know. Thank you.

Thanks for your response.
We are using NSClient++ to monitor windows. We are running on Nagios XI 5.4.4.
We are doing POC of Nagios XI in our environment, and seeing this issue intermittently from the time we onboarded them for monitoring.

Let me know if you need further details.

Thanks,
Bhargava

Hi,

If the problem is intermittent, try is to increase the timeout for the plugin by adding the -t option to the check_nt command like the example below.

Code: Select all

-t 60
Let us know if this resolves the issue.
