A.2.5.1 Global service check timeout limit
The master Nagios configuration file, nagios.cfg, contains global settings that control overall
behavior. One of these settings is the service_check_timeout interval. Nagios limits the
execution time of plug-ins to this interval. If a plug-in is still running when the interval expires,
Nagios stops the plug-in and shows the result as a Service check timeout error.
For configurations with fewer than 256 managed systems, the default value of 180 seconds is
adequate. However, warning or critical messages can occur if the service_check_timeout
interval ends before the metrics gathering is complete. If your configuration has more than 256
managed systems, increase the value for the service_check_timeout parameter.
A.2.6 Disabling individual Nagios plug-ins
Nagios plug-ins are enabled by default. However, you can modify the /opt/hptc/nagios/
etc/templates/*_template.cfg
files to customize the service checks as needed.
IMPORTANT: Do not modify files in the /opt/hptc/nagios/etc directory with file names of
the form *_local.cfg or xc_*.cfg.
To disable a specific Nagios plug-in, follow these steps:
1.
Log in as the root user on the CMS.
2. Change to the following directory:
# cd /opt/hptc/nagios/etc/templates
3. Determine the appropriate template file to disable the plug-in.
This procedure uses the nagios_template.cfg file as an example.
4. Use a text editor to modify the template file.
5. Restart the Nagios service:
# /etc/init.d/nagios restart
A.3 Changing Nagios default settings
Table 25 lists the default settings for the services that Nagios monitors. The following list describes
the columns in Table 25 :
Service Description Specifies the Nagios service name.
