Nagios Support Forum

Hello XI Support

We've suddenly developed problems with otherwise healthy monitoring of some HTTP hosts (picture attached)
Most of these are HTTP-availability configured, but down as far as Nagios XI concerned. (CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds)

all the hosts listed are actually online and accessible

How to resolve this problem?

I ran a test on my end against one of the hosts listed, and even here it took 5 seconds to finish - Depending on the load / network of your machine, I could see it taking longer than 10 seconds to finish up with what I mentioned above. Can you try appending -t 30 to the end of them?

If that doesn't work, could you post the full output with a -v? Here's it ran on my end -

Please close. I googled lots that day, but it was not the case: slow VMWARE Nagios XI VM migration/move cause this behaviour (we run Nagios on 3rd party VMWARE cluster).

Ah! Glad to hear you were able to find a logical answer for it.
