Multiplying nagios processes in state pipewr

[Dan Hopkins]

I'm having some problems with a distributed setup on nagios-1.2. The passive master and two active slaves are all running freebsd 5.2.1, with around 800 hosts and 1100 services split between the two slaves. The master is truly passive, with freshness checking turned off.

Everything seems to work, but the master keeps spawning nagios processes, upto a few thousand before the box finally curls up and dies. The hung processes are all in state pipewr which makes me wonder if they're all blocking waiting for the command pipe... ?

I'm guessing this must be somehow be down to the object config, since the same master works flawlessly with the same base config but a different set of hosts/services (more in fact) although that is with different slaves.

Before I start manually pruning the services, has anyone seen this behaviour before?
