Log startup time for nagios 2.7

[Marantz, Roy]

Yes I have a distributed environment.  Most (about 8k of the 9k) of the
service checks are passive (done on the checked host).  No host check is
passive.

OTOH, I think this was a "transient" problem.  While the time to restart
Nagios has been creeping up slowly, I think my recent problem was caused
by some resource starvation on my Nagios server.  The same machine runs
my centralized syslog catcher and it was eating up lots of the machine.
I didn't notice this for a few hours and now that that is fixed things
seem back to usual.  It takes about 45 seconds (from the time command)
to start Nagios instead of the >3 minutes I was seeing.  Funny thing is
that normal commands were working quickly on the machine.  I guess I/O
might have been slow.

Sorry about wasting peoples time.
Thanks again.
Roy

In fact, NDO slows it down because it has to send a lot of data for  
large installations. Scratch that idea.

Do you have a distributed environment? Passive checks are not  
processed during the reloading of the configuration, so the number of  
passive checks queued up. When the configuration has been read,  
Nagios has to empty the external command file before starting regular  
checks. Use nagiostat to see the buffer slot values straight after  
startup - this will give an idea
