CRITICAL - Plugin timed out while executing system call

Post by isthisyournacho »

One of my servers suddenly started complaining of this error at 4am this morning. The server has barely any load, and the services that are failing are check_remote_load, check_remote_disk, check_remote_swap, and check_remote_procs. They have been working for quite some time, and now I get: CRITICAL - Plugin timed out while executing system call

I can run the command manually on the server itself. I forgot to mention - one server connects to another server to run these commands, and I have about 5 servers being checked, only this one has the problem.

Here's a snippit of one of my config files:


# Define a host for the local machine

define host{
use linux-server ; Name of host template$
; This host definition $
; in (or inherited by) $
host_name Dev11
alias Dev11
address 10.1.1.222
hostgroups linux-servers
}

#define service{
# use generic-service
# host_name Dev11
# service_description HTTP
# check_command check_http
# max_check_attempts 3
# check_interval 1
# retry_interval 1
#}

define service{
use generic-service ; Name of service template to use
host_name Dev11
service_description Current Load
check_command check_remote_load!5.0,4.0,3.0!10.0,6.0,4.0
notifications_enabled 1
}
