Nagios Support Forum

Yes, on our high-traffic production servers, NSClient routinely is slow to respond. But we're potentially talking several thousand checks that we've had this issue with.

I'll need to figure out a way to make this change in bulk.

Also, if we're holding the check (or socket) in memory longer, this will have a significant impact on nagios server memory usage, right?

I just searched the event log. 482 Socket timeout messages in the past 24hours.

You could just add it to the command definition in the CCM, depending on your setup it would likely only be a couple commands to add it to.
