Are these checks that use the check_nrpe plugin? If this is the case, and you wanted to receive UNKNOWNs, instead of CRITICALs on timeouts, you could add "-u" to your command.
From the check_nrpe plugin's usage:
-u, --unknown-timeout Make connection problems return UNKNOWN instead of CRITICAL
Example:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H <client ip> -u

In this case, you would need to troubleshoot the issue by following the instructions in the manual (page 83):

If this doesn't help you, I would recommend that you contact the plugin's owner (box293), and ask for assistance as box293_check_vmware plugin is not one of our official nagios plugins.
