Yes, definitely do that. I talk about how my team set up nagios and<br>
PNP to minimize delays in polling on my blog, though be warned that we<br>
break some of the rules that the documentation says to always follow,<br>
like doing a fork() in a NEB module and setting inter-check delay<br>
methods to n .. none. so while it works for us I know that a number<br>
of people on this list would probably balk at how we did things and<br>
call us idiots :).</blockquote><div><br>Thanks again Max! I think sometimes one is forced to disobey the "standard prescriptions"! Maybe that is "idiotic" but whatever works! :)<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Just found a very useful snippet there: "ps -e -a -x -f -o %u | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn" there. If I use this I find that the "nagios" owned processes seem to fluctuate a lot. Suddenly it goes as high as 54 and then for a while it owns only 3 processes. Then it shoots up again. Very interesting. Maybe that is the phenomenon you were referring to? I should probably wrap it in a bash wrapper and get it to graph the nagios processes in a 1 sec resolution to get a finer-time-grained idea of what is going on!<br>
