Name or service not known

Nagios Nagios Configuration support

Hi,
I get MANY critical warning in a day that state “Name or service not known”.
Is this a configuration issue?

thanks for your help!

I am still getting warnings although I check the server and all is right. Can someone point me to the troubleshooting of such problem? Below are the hard warnings I received last night. If Nagios continues to send false alarms like this, I won’t be able to rely on it anymore… thanks!

looks much like a configuration problem… ssh is configured wrong, http could be many things… first try running the commands from command line.
