Windows Agents Intermittently Failing

Hello Tralin,

Debugging here with cmk is not so helpful because it doesnt show the timing of each section.
At least I can see “veeam_jobs(!), execution time 119.2 sec” in the output. If you run with default settings the checkmk check will run in to a timeout I estimate.
You may either change timeout settings and scheduling of the checkmk check or better run the veeam plugin asynchron to mitigate. But as first step I would check if the root cause could be fixed. For VEEAM I know that loading the Powershell modues needs some time. Powershell could be configured to preload such modules to a avoid long load times. I am not an expert with Windows stuff and cannot help so much but may ask Dr. GOOGLE

To have a better view of the timing of your agent have a look at C:\ProgramData\checkmk\agent\log\check_mk.
In the past we had several issues with WMI. In most cases a reboot of the Windows server fixed that.

I hope that helps

Michael
