We also use some of the pre-caching and config checking before we shutdown so if there are issues we don't take down the install, this reduces the actual downtime to about 20 seconds or so, even loading 600ish hosts and few thousand service checks.

I sometimes add/remove a directive cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/test without any problem so I guess it's behaving better now than it used to. I do find it's best to do a full stop / start once a week or so regardless though, as Nagios seems to use increasing amounts of CPU otherwise. Mine is quite a busy system though - I need to find some more beefy hardware to host it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
