Hello all,
Nagios Version: 3.0.3
Host: Intel Xeon 1.6GHz / 2GB RAM
# of Hosts Monitored: 322
# of Services Monitored: 35
The localhost.cfg comes with a default process check with the values 250+ for warnings and 400+ for critical. Usually about twice an hour from checking the event log I get this message:
[09-02-2008 07:02:48] SERVICE ALERT: NAGIOS;Total Processes;WARNING;SOFT;1;PROCS WARNING: 370 processes with STATE = RSZDT
It seems to me the machine itself is powerful enough to execute this many checks without even breaking a sweat. Were these defaults configured in the thinking that there should never be that many processes?
I'm by no means a Linux or Nagios expert and I was hoping someone could explain more of the thinking behind this check than what I see. I can obviously just bump the numbers up but I want to make sure that I'm not ignoring something obvious that may have unwanted results after the fact. Should I use these numbers I see here as the basis for my new thresholds?
Thanks in advance for your help,
