there is a setting in the nagios.cfg that is the longest nagios will allow a command to run

for services it is

Code: Select all

service_check_timeout=60
If you adjust this higher and restart nagios it will allow execution to go longer for service checks

You don't need to restart the server, just the nagios process, same thing that happens when you Apply Configuration.
or

Code: Select all

service nagios restart

there is no way to override this setting without the nagios process restarting
