Nagios Support Forum

Hello Team,

I am frequently getting CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 60 seconds
if I am wrong please correct me
As per my understanding
1)That particular time nagios server not able communicate(script or plugin not response within timeout) with remote server
2)sometimes port is not opened or anywhere it's blocked

Could you please clarify the same ?

Both of these sound correct. Additionally it could happen if your plugin on the NRPE server takes a very long time to run (most happen in milliseconds).

so today I have received same socket time out error alert after that service started working fine.
if any solution is there for this because frequently I am getting

Are you seeing this frequently on the same server or the same service check?

If it is infrequent it could have just been a network error.

not same service . it's showing 5minits then it's started working continuously .

Were they all on the same remote server?

no . every time i am getting from different remote server and different services

What is the current load on the Nagios XI server?

Have you ruled out all possible network problems with the Nagios server and it's connections to the various servers?
