To: Trask <<a href="mailto:trasko@gmail.com">trasko@gmail.com</a>> Performance wise the system isn't hit very hard (2 proc xenon system). Load averages over the past few days floats between 0.25 and 0.65. Time matches up with all my servers and the machine time in nagios itself. checking on how many nagios proccesses are running it seems to stay around 5-8 processes related to nagios... I see mainly 1 nagios server process 3 or so send sysylog services. If i spam refresh top i'll see 2-5 ncsa a proccesses pop out every once in a while, but they last less than a half a second.

Verify the time on the nagios machine. What sort of latencies are you seeing when you look at "Performance Info"? What is the load you are seeing (run "top")? Run something like the following command to see how many nagios related processes are running (this assumes the directory where nagios is installed includes the word "nagios"). If you don't have "watch", just run the command a bun manually or put it in a never-ending while loop. Watch it for a few minutes (or get fancy and capture / graph the output) and get a feel for the numbers and any patterns you see. watch -n 1 'ps auxw | grep nagios | wc -l' Reply with your nagios.cfg. </blockquote></div></div> <div> -- --------------------------------------------------------- Robert Stafford Systems Engineer - Xpressbet <a href="mailto:robert.stafford@xpressbet.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> robert.stafford@xpressbet.com</a> <a href="mailto:rdstafford@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">rdstafford@gmail.com</a> ---------------------------------------------------------- </div> -- --------------------------------------------------------- Robert Stafford Systems Engineer - Xpressbet <a href="mailto:robert.stafford@xpressbet.com">robert.stafford@xpressbet.com </a> <a href="mailto:rdstafford@gmail.com">rdstafford@gmail.com</a> ----------------------------------------------------------
