Hello all togehter,

on my nagios-server (centos 7 / Nagios Core 4.3.4) I've the problem, that about 1000 times a day I get the following text in nagios.log:

Code: Select all

[Wed Nov 21 23:57:43 2018] wproc: Core Worker 22697: job 13048 (pid=105199) timed out. Killing it
[Wed Nov 21 23:57:43 2018] wproc: CHECK job 13048 from worker Core Worker 22697 timed out after 30.01s
[Wed Nov 21 23:57:43 2018] wproc:   host=ATTESTSR05; service=(null);
[Wed Nov 21 23:57:43 2018] wproc:   early_timeout=1; exited_ok=0; wait_status=0; error_code=62;
[Wed Nov 21 23:57:43 2018] wproc:   stdout line 01: PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100%|rta=5000.000000ms;3000.000000;5000.000000;0.000000 pl=100%;75;100;0
I don't understand what it means, because single ping can't get a timeout.

The problem for me is, that this wproc errors are sometimes the last output before the nagios process dies. It seems to me, as if nagios would kill himself.

Can anybody help me?

This message is normal when the host check fails and would indicate that the host is down or not responding to icmp packets. Are you able to ping ATTESTSR05 from the command line of the nagios machine? It's not uncommon for icmp packets to be dropped and you may need to rely on a different plugin to check this host.
