I have been watching this thread for a while. I use JAVA checks often in nagios and have no problem. The machine that it is running on has 8GB of RAM though. I see no load on the machine and the checks run fine. I think I have less than 10 running though.
You really think more than 10 would be bad for you?

Hi Sean,
someone else had written a nagios plugin and experienced the expected
performance problems. There are some tuning parameters, though. But I
think, that as soon as I use some 10 Java based checks, I'll be out of
luck and the monitoring will break.
I also thought, that I should turn the plugin into a server, create some
threads for the individual SAP checks and then use passive checks from
nagios. The problem with this approach is, that there's another
component, that can fail -- but your suggestion, to check the server is
fine. I like the idea...
Thanks,
Thomas
