You are still experiencing timeouts for perfdata processing. Did you change the TIMEOUT setting as instructed by slansing? (you will need to restart npcd after the change)

I have changed the value as perviously instructed.

I have restarted the service, I even rebooted the box to be sure.

No change.

Could you post the output of the following command in a code wrap?

Code: Select all

cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/process_perfdata.cfg | grep -5 TIMEOUT
