Nagios CRASHING - Passive External Commands

[Fred Reimers]

All,

I need help with Nagios and external commands.

I have an external script running FPING against 3200 hosts and writing the results to the Nagios external command file.  

Sometimes it works and other times Nagios crashes.

[1074873519] EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;0681-Frame;PING;0;PING OK - 208.252.129.57 is alive (74.4 ms)
[1074873519] EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;0681-Server;PING;0;PING OK - 10.136.26.2 is alive (89.8 ms)
[1074873519] EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;0681-VPN;PING;0;PING OK - 10.136.26.1 is alive (90.2 ms)

[1074873519] EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;0689-VPN;PING;0;PING OK - 10.133.46.1 is alive (266 ms)
[1074873519] EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;
[1074873519] Caught SIGSEGV, shutting down...

Nagios appears to be truncating the command sent to it.  I checked and there's no problem with the external command file.

I'm writing directly to the command file from the same machine.

Is there anything information on throttling passive checks through the external command file to keep Nagios from crashing??

Right now I'm just pinging the hosts and have 3200 services. This monitoring requirement is going to expand to 7200 hosts with 21000 service checks.


Help!!
