#9 Could not complete SSL handshake

[Anonymous]

We have NRPE_NT successfully running in our environment. I am currently running 1000 service checks every 5 to 10 min for 350 different hosts.
We get many service checks failing with "could not complete SSL handshake" error. While analyzing I found that those service check failures are for random hosts and occur in bunches like every 10 minutes (service check frequency). We realized that it is hitting some sort of connection limit when many service checks are running in parallel. To conclude, I reduced the no of service checks to 500 every 10 min and it helped.
I was hoping to see if this setup can be scaled to execute more service checks per minute.

I'm having the same problem, reducing the nº of services is the "official" way to fix this error?
