That means that the scrape didn’t complete before the timeout. Usually it is due to some form of networking/firewall issue, but it can occasionally be due to an exporter taking a long time to respond. The best thing to do is to use curl/wget from the same location as Prometheus (e.g. same VM or pod) to see if the request works. And then look at firewall logs, etc. to figure out the cause. ---

Are you running curl with exactly the same URL that Prometheus is using, and from the same location? When it being run how long is it taking to return data? ---

I have same issue in Prometheus but starnge , thing is only when Main PC is OFF. Having smb share from Main PC on Unraid Server . Fixed by increased scrape\_timeout: 15s from default . but why is scrape interval increase to 10s when Main PC is OFF? maybe trying to get info for smb share from Main PC? ---
