Nagios Support Forum

Dear Support,

I would like to create a check with a long-running external script(~5 minutes) from nagios.
I copied check_nrpe command and increase timeout on it. I've changed command_timeout=600 in NSC.INI in the plugin.

Still getting the following error: Could you please help me? What elso do i have to change?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Zoltan

In /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg there are global timeout settings. service_check_timeout=60 is one of these. You would have to change that to some value equal or greater than the service timeout and the restart nagios.

Thank you! It works.

Are we good to mark this thread as resolved and close it out?
