Nagios Support Forum

I have a couple AIX servers that I am checking via SSH that are very slow response during certain times of the day.
It takes about 20-30 seconds for the SHH to finish authentication.

In Nagios XI is there a place where I can adjust the timeout to 60 seconds for those particular server?
Or if not can I change the service check timeout globally to 60 seconds?

The check_by_ssh plugin honors the -t argument for timeout. Just add "-t 60" to one of the argument slots in your service definition.

That did the trick... Awesome

Thanks...
