Hi

Is it possible to change the state from warning to critical after a set time?

Thanks

This is not a built-in function in Nagios, no. You might be able to create a wrapper script around your plugin that will maintain state and change based on time elapsed.

Thanks for the response I thought that may be the case as I couldn't find anything that looked like it would do it.
