I am watching the process table and there is no more than 25 nagios processes at a time. My system specs. are: 4 - 1.4Ghz Xeon processors with 256kb cache, 2GB of memory, SCSI disks, and dual 100 Full duplex - truncked running RedHat 7.2. I have a total of 150 hosts with 3000 services. The services are scheduled anywhere from every 3 minutes (ping checks) to once a day. Check Execution Time: 1 sec min. 18 sec. Max. Average 0.365. I would like to see more services check than what I am currently getting. How can I get more concurrent_checks? The following settings are: inter_check_delay_method=s service_interleave_factor=s service_reaper_frequency=5 I have turned on check_service_freshness, thinking that I could get rid of some stale checks. However, with check_service_freshness on, I get false pages with a lot of unknown (check command failed). Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks, John </BODY> </HTML>
