Error- Socket Time Out

If the server that is getting checked is busy and does not respond quick enough, or a short network outage, that could cause the plugin to timeout and output that message.
One thing to try is to increase the timeout for the plugins you are using.
To do that, find the command definition and add, for example

Code: Select all

-t 59
to the command.
That will increase the timeout to 59 seconds and hopefully help out in the issue you are having.
