[Check_mk (english)] Change Check_MK Service Timout

Hi, on a lot of the hosts I have in check_mk I get warnings about the check_mk service. This alarms once and then goes back to OK. An example is below:

Firstly, I can’t really see from the info about why I get the alerts as both the execution and process times look fine. Secondly, if this service really is taking too long to respond, how can I change the timeout?

Thanks.

Pete.

Thanks for the reply. I included just the recovery because they always show any spikes etc in the attached graphs indicating why the service / host went warning or critical.

Apart from changing the notifications I also wanted to see why I was getting the notifications in the first place. When you look at the two graphs attached everything is <1sec so even if the service notification is set to 10secs or 60secs I would have thought
I shouldn’t get the notifications. Am I reading this wrong?

Pete.

That is the recovery notification. If it’s the notifications that bother you, add a service notification delay

rule (either globally or just for the check_mk service), so that it will have to timeout more than once

before you get email.

I seem to remember there is/was a 10 second timeout for the check_mk service connection in the

WATO - Configuration → Global settings. (That’s just for the initial connection…if the agent takes longer

than 60 seconds, then the nagios service check timeout becomes relevant.)
