I see that you are monitoring these services quite frequently - every minute. Have you tried increasing the check interval to let's say 5 minutes to see if this is going to fix the issue?

Can you PM me your latest profile? We would need to review your configs and log files to see if anything "stands out".

I asked for the profile.zip. Did you PM me the file? I haven't received it yet.

interval is default , 5 min for normal check critical is 1 min retry.
daily we are facing same issue , getting time out and that is causing more issue in getting accurate monitoring.

I and a coworker reviewed your profile, but didn't find anything that "stands out". It is possible that you have some intermittent networking issues, that cause the timeouts.

One thing that you can do in order to troubleshoot this is to run "ping" against one of the hosts, and leave it running for a while, e.g. 1/2 hour. You can redirect the output to a file, so that you could review it later.

For example:

Code: Select all

ping <ip address> >> /tmp/ping.txt
After some time, stop the ping (ctrl + c), and open the file in a text editor to view the contents for packet loss/dropped packets. Let us know of your findings.

Did you have any timeouts (false alarms) during that time (while you were running the ping command)?
