There are several tweaks one can do to make Nagios more or less saturate the CPU, but none of them are enough if the number of checks rise above a certain level. We've noticed that we can run about 60K service-checks so long as we don't have many state-changes in the network. That's not nearly

Hi list, Several times I'm asked about Nagios latency when the number of services go over a certain number. Is there any tweak to have nagios scale checkings more than it would after tweaking every configuration option for boosting performance? It seems that nagios don't do the best job at

Patch can be found here: http://github.com/netoisstools/Nagios-3-Patches/blob/master/events.c.patch Download it to your nagios source directory then run patch -p0 events.c.patch if you use the patch, make sure to set use_large_installation_tweaks to 1 as it will only skip the sleep time if

I spent couple weeks playing with 3.2.1 and found that it performs very well with active checks (6500+ in 5 min at 1-2 sec latency max) but could not pass 5000 passive checks on the master server. When switched to 3.2.0, it processes 7300-7500 passive checks out of 8055 at 0.2 sec latency using
