This sounds about right. 330 checks/240 seconds = 2.75 checks/sec. You'll have at least 1 process in the run queue at any given second so you have a load average of 1+. Why do you think this is a problem? It seems quite normal for any linux box and shouldn't be an issue. > Another problem is, I get frequently high ping times in the local > network the nagios server belongs to. There are many reasons this could be. High utilization of the links on the network, high utilization of the routers/switches, speed and duplex mismatches, bad cabling causing retransmits, etc... > What servers do you use for this count of checks. > Should I split it into two nagios servers? Until last year I was using Compaq DL360's (dual P3 1.4Ghz, 1G ram) to monitor 800+ services at 5 minute intervals + Cricket data collection for 10's of thousands of interfaces during that same interval. They were performing just fine. I replaced them with modern Sun boxes because they were way too old and I was worried about potential hardware failures. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
