Hi,

setting the 'timeout' variable in the Probes section to something bigger
than 5 (the default maximum time for one ping) should help:

*** Probes ***
 
+ Curl
 
binary = /usr/bin/curl
timeout = 7


The 100 s in your example is this timeout multiplied by 20 (the # of
pings in the Database section) .
