Solution for Check_nrpe Timeout issue

I have been struggling to figure out solution each time when i encounter the error"CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 60 seconds."

Here are the solution that worked so far.

Solution 1

 * check the windows time service and it is syncing with NTP via Active Director or NTP server

Solution 2

 * Sometimes, this error occurs when using an IP address to connect to a device. Try using the hostname or FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) instead. In PRTG, please enter this information in the device's settings (section "Credentials for Windows Systems").
