Use of ramdisk

What type of checks are you doing? My system-load decreased dramatically when I changed the check_snmp plugin to not load the mib-list all the time (change the line '#define DEFAULT_MIBLIST "ALL"' to '#define DEFAULT_MIBLIST "NONE"')

Regarding the use of RAM-disk, the biggest drawback is that it uses RAM. I dont know how much space you need - On my server the directory var/archives contains logiles from jan 13 to today and takes up about 28Mb

Subject:	[Nagios-users] Use of ramdisk
Hi

Im using Nagios to monitor about 35 hosts and 250 services on my network.
The server is P-3 500Mhz and 256 mb memory running Redhat Linux 7.2 and 
kernel version of 2.4.7-10.
The CPU load of the server used for monitoring is increasing day by day. 
We have allready tried to optimize the services checks delay etc, but 
still there needs to be some optimization.

I have seen the page in the documentation of Nagios about tuning the 
performance.
Im left with an option of going for the ramdisk for storing the logs. 
Has anybody used Ramdisk before.
What are implications of using ramdisk??
Please advice.

Thanks
Atul.
