high latency

[Daniel Wittenberg]

It appears that nagios spawns lots and lots of new procs for all the
various tasks it does, check results and such.  I was curious, wouldn't
a model more like Apache work better?  Something like, a queue for work,
and have worker processes grab off that queue, run a bunch of different
jobs, then die, rather than just performing one task?  That seems like
it would still maintain stability and offer higher performance gains ?

In theory, it does. It probably does in practice too, but the problems
associated with it makes it "not worth it".

Check if you're not sure.

Virtual systems. Bleh. Anyways, if you're going to use a loadbalanced
setup
you should look into using Merlin. That way you get complete failover
for
free.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
