Hi,

I'm getting these critical message in nagios for one of my linux hosts "YUM CRITICAL: Yum nagios plugin has self terminated after exceeding the timeout (30 seconds)"
I not sure how to fix this, any ideas?

Hello,

Could you please include a little more information about this issue?

What plugin are you using to monitor this host?

What OS version is the box you are trying to monitor?

hi hsmith,

the remote computer is running centos 5, and the plugin is check_updates. Security updates.
I hope this is enough information.

define service {
use computername,linux-check_updates
host_name computername
#service_description Security Updates
}

Where did you get the plugin from?

Can you post the service check for this particular host/service?

You can find all of these in /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects

I'm not sure how your contractor named the stuff though.
