EMC Unity "timeout" setting

Hi Steven,
from the graph it seems like the query is stopped by the standard timeout for the Check_MK service after 60 seconds.
Depending on which edition of Checkmk you use, this timeout can be changed differently.


In the free Raw Edition / when using the Nagios Core:
Edit the file ~/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg in your Site-directory and add a line with “service_check_timeout=90” where the number represents the amount of seconds:

# ~/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

service_check_timeout=90

After this a cmk -R is needed to reload the Nagios core.

:warning: Be aware that this is then applicable for every Active Check on your site. This can increase the CPU load of your Checkmk Server.


In the other editions / when using the Checkmk Micro Core:
There is a rule “Service check timeout (Micro Core)”, with it you can increase the timeout for specific Hosts and Active Checks like the Check_MK Service.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Leon
