See this section of the file that has a 60 second timeout

I changed it to 180 in my nsclient

You are probably going to want to find a different method to run this because calling a plugin from Nagios that takes 26 minutes to process is going to cause a lot of other problems

Hi again

The script on the server is now running under 40 seconds do not know what happened but it is faster now

But from the Nagios server I am getting this still\

root@tgcs017:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins# ./check_nrpe -u -H TGCS024 -t 180 -c checkveeambu -a 'Win 19 VM backup'
CHECK_NRPE: Received 0 bytes from daemon. Check the remote server logs for error messages.


Any ideas

before when you were running it you were passing a 1 at the end
try

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -u -H TGCS024 -t 180 -c checkveeambu -a 'Win 19 VM backup' 1

Re: Command checkveeambu didn't terminate within the timeout

I added the 1 on the end

same results

Interesting today

I tested again and it worked on the check ran it 3 times came back with proper results.

But then later in the day I came back and tried again with same results.

Any ideas?

I wonder if at certain times the check just takes too long to run, possible because the server is extremely busy or doesn't get a quick enough response

I thought that also.

But Nagios does not complain about this server I check memory and cpu and it does not post any slowness

Even when I test the cpu and memory resources are low.

The process runs on the server not Nagios so it can not be a resource issue on Nagios.

Will keep trying.

Very strange is that my other Veeam b&r server the checks are fine no issues.
