I started using the caching agent, and setting the service to unlimited/not set concurrent connection to avoid getting blasted by crits, it has helped. But… I am having to flush out failed check_mk.socket services almost daily, no idea why, on a bunch of normal machines.
I’ve just accepted it as a fact of life, but wanted to leave the commands here that I use here for anyone else to setup a cron. Also, I am running checks from an LTE remote connection (remote servers are hosted on stable connection though.), so I understand that my connection itself is a bit shaky. Perhaps others with a better connection have less of an issue.
systemctl daemon-reload; # This should NOT be needed, but sometimes the service just doesn't "clear" up without it. No idea why.
systemctl reset-failed; # This to clear out all the failed services see image below, Additionally I have created a rule to ignore check_mk services failures in the systemd module
systemctl restart check_mk.socket; # Restart the service
systemctl status check_mk.socket # Make sure its running after.
