Nagios and Gearman - huge environment performance problem

[Rodney Ramos]

Hi everybody,

I´m testing Nagios and Gearman / Mod_Gearman. I´d like to change NSCA with
this new approach, as it seems easier to configure and has a lot of
advantages. Besides, NSCA and Nagios freshness mechanism have some problems.

Gearman and mod_gearman are working well. I have 30000 hosts and 60000
services, and it is increasing!

Now I´m having problem with Nagios performance, that eats 100% of CPU and
the host and service latency is very big, around 300 seconds. I think that
this a Nagios problem, as the gearman_top shows the Job Wainting queue empty
almost all the time. It seems that Nagios do not send the active checks all
the time, an once in while it sends a burst of active checks.

I have a physical central server, running RHEL, with 4 GB of ram, Intel(R)
Xeon(R) CPU E5504  @ 2.00GHz (8 CPUs). For the workers I have 9 virtual
servers running RHEL too.

I've already set the Nagios parameters to large environment, as recommended
in the documentation, but it made no difference. Thanks.

Nagios Parameters to large environment:

- use_large_installation_tweaks=1

- enable_environment_macros=0

- max_concurrent_checks=0

- check_result_reaper_frequency=10
Could someone help me? How can I improve Nagios performance to make active
checks faster?

Thank you very much.
