multiprocessor capable??

[Bishop, Dean]

cool.

sorry i am not very familiar with SMP.

i understand that A) linux can deal with SMP and B) nagios forks it's checks
as individual processes .

Here is where i need clarification.  If Nagios is forking theses checks off
as individual processes does that mean that it is the OS's responsibility to
allocate the processes (aka checks) to the processors?

thanks,
dean

sure it is.

nagios can run many checks concurrently.  since it forks off these
processes, it
is up to the SMP implementation to handle which processor to run on.

Thus - nagios should be able to run on asmany processors as you like.

Good morning all,

     Does nagios take advantage of dual processors??  i am in a bind
right now in that my sandbox has been working too well.  Alas, it has
reached it's limit.  My options, an old dual-processor P-II 350 or a P-III
400.


thanks,
dean
