I've run into some kind of memory leak in Nagios. After removing checks and services to narrow it down, I've determined that its the check_snmp command that is leaking memory. With 33 hosts and almost each one having 1 check that uses check_snmp in it, it leaks about 1MB every couple checks. It only takes a day for it to get to the point where nagiops is using 200-300MB of RAM. I'd say that's pretty bad.
Anyways, I've tried recompiling nagios and the nagios plugins and I've upgraded all the packages on my system to make sure it wasn't something there and then recompiled again. Any ideas as to what this might be? Here are my system specs for the nagios server: System type: Xen virtual machine. Architecture: x86_64 Physical memory: 512MB Distribution: CentOS 5.3 gcc ver: gcc-4.1.2-44.el5 Nagios ver: 3.0.6 Nagios Configure settings: configure --with-command-group=nagcmd --enable-embedded-perl Nagios plugins ver: 1.4.13 Nagios Plugins Configure settings: configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios --with-mysql I actually have another machine that I was running Nagios on recently where I don't have this problem. It has the same setup except its RHEL 5.2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
