Hi Karen,
check_nrpe returns "CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds " if the test/check returned no result within 10 seconds (10s = default timeout of the nrpe plugin). According to my experience this can happen due to the following reasons:
1. The machine you want to check is overloaded for whatever reason.
Solution: check for the "whatever" reason and fix it
2. The execution of the plugin takes a while by design (e.g. the plugin counts the rows of a very big InnoDB table)
Solution: increase the timeout for the nrpe plugin (check_nrpe --help)
e.g. ./check_nrpe -H hosttocheck -c slow_check -t 30
I haven't seen the other 2 error messages yet, so I cannot help on these issues, sry.
Best, Alex
