hundreds of procs

[Williams, P. Lane]

I see the same thing.  But I think this is the way it should be.  Nagios is
a parallel application.  I typically run with an average of 50 - 70 nagios
procs a second and sometimes peaking at 300.  System load typically runs
between 3 and 4, which for a typical server would be high.  I have Sun
Enterprise application servers that run with a load average above 10 all day
and Sun Enterprise backup servers that run with a load of 6 or higher. 

I suggest running "top" and watching whats going on.  If your "iowait" is
0%, memory looks good, and the sleeping processes flucuate with on-going
processes, I'd say your running just fine.  The fact that you have a high
load average may just mean you need a newer/faster server.  I run with dual
xeons on a gig of ram, and sometimes peek my load average at 19.  The only
problems I've noticed is with the default setting of "Sendmail" rejecting
request when load is above 12.  I just reset those settings to 70 and all
looks good.

If your having problems with Nagios not completing checks in a timely
fashion, I recommend revisting your configuration.  If you have a high
number of passive checks you may need to account for that as well.

By the way, this is from one day of Nagios being active without me
restarting it:

 10:08am  up 29 days, 20:57,  1 user,  load average: 11.06, 14.66, 15.69
1001 processes: 1000 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped

Hi to everyone,

I just was reading the posting from Dave and his problem "nagios looping -
hundreds of procs"

It seems that I got the same problem. Up to now there is a relationship
between the frequency of checks an the occurance of many nagios-tasks. But
even if I set the normal_check_interval to al long period (10 minutes) it
happens, that after one or two
days there ar up to 200 or more nagios tasks.
Is this problem already solved I would like to get the solution.

regards
   tom
