Hi,

I tried to add in a switch to monitor but i am getting below error.

CRITICAL - Plugin timed out while executing system call

i tried to run the command directly from CLI as below but same error came up:
./check_snmp -H 192.168.30.1 -C gpcc -o sysUpTimeInstance
CRITICAL - Plugin timed out while executing system call

Any suggestions ?

Regards
Abdul Wajid

Is this server really busy? I believe the default timeout on the check is 10 sec. Can you try running the command with "-t"=180 or higher?

Code: Select all

./check_snmp -H 192.168.30.1 -t 180 -C gpcc -o sysUpTimeInstance
Is it timing out now?
