on the esxi side we see that the account locked out due to the max number of login exceeded from the root account but afaik we are using the nagios user to access the vcenter from nagios.

Take a look at the following links for the Wizard and Plugin that you are using to monitor your infrastructure and make sure they are up to date.

In this manual, take a look at page 83 for a possible solution to the Timeout issue. You may need to resize the VMA server.
