First of all, make sure you're running a recent enough version of Nagios to have Jean Gabès' patch for speeding up circular host/parent paths. Secondly, precache the configuration before reloading and use the precached version of the object config when doing the actual restart. This will bring your downtime down from 6-10 minutes to perhaps 1-5 seconds. You'll still lose the full 6-10 minutes for recently added objects, but the previously existing ones will keep being monitored. -- Andreas Ericsson [email protected] OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
