Hi!
Code: Select all

Informational Message[12-03-2014 09:50:02] wproc: Core Worker 4124: Failed to reap child with pid 18245. Next attempt @ 1394614207.572255

Informational Message[12-03-2014 09:50:02] wproc: Core Worker 4124: job 95209 (pid=18245) timed out. Killing it
This timeout was never reported (and of course no event handler was started) - can somebody give me a hint where to search why?

Please run the following command and output the results.

I'm not sure if this is an expected thing with core or not. However the worker killed your check before it could return any output or status for it timing out as the max service timeout within core is set to 90 seconds and your plugin had a timeout of 99 seconds. Increasing the max timeout within core or decreasing it on the plugin below 90 should resolve this issue. I will check on what behavior is expected when core kills a check, as I would expect at least an unknown if not critical.

As I have written the grep -i timeout output it has become
reasonable for me
service_check_timeout=90 and a ... -t 99 could not work together very well...
(and now the "but"
)
but
until 4.0.3 this raised no problems. I will lower the -t value, it is more logical
in the way 4.0.3 handles that.
Thank you!
