Possible bug - limit on number of config objects?

[Brian Scanlan]

Hi all,

OS: Debian Linux 3.1
Nagios version: 2.0b6
Compile options: --prefix=/usr/local/nagios

I've hit an "interesting" issue. CGIs are reporting that they cannot
read object configuration data, however, permissions are fine. The
"only" thing that changed was the addition of more hosts and services
to monitor. The nagios daemons appear to be running fine, there are no
useful error messages that I can find.

I currently have the following numbers being monitored in nagios:
2691 "define host"s
2673 "define hostextinfo"s
2783 "define service"s

When we reduce the numbers by a few hundred, the CGIs work fine, so
I'm thinking there's a hardlimit in the CGIs. Any ideas?

The error reported is:

"Whoops!

Error: Could not read object configuration data!"

I could not find any useful error messages in any logfile."

Here is the output of:
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
