Wow! That's quite some horsepower. Unfortunately I think you might be confusing a "processor" as in a CPU core and a "process" as in a running program. 153 processes is by no means an insane number for a heavily loaded server. As in any monitoring situation, you must take some time and define "normal" before you can decide on the warning/critical thresholds for your application. -lee ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
