hi,

i use the plugin check_by_ssh and sometimes the plugin timed out and the result is: CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after x seconds
I would like to change the result to "UNKNOWN - Plugin timed out after x seconds", if a timeout happens. In this case the parameter -t does not help.

best regards
Cooper

This request is on my radar. I am currently working on a universal solution that can be used across all c plugins.
You could use the negate plugin to do so, but the negate plugin will need a shorter timeout than the value used by check_by_ssh
