Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios monitoring limits: hosts and services

2007-06-08 Thread Morris, Patrick
 I'm starting to get complaints from our Operations group that 
 the Nagios web GUI is getting slow.  This is on a version 
 1.x Nagios server.  The server is monitoring 678 hosts and 
 3481 services organized in 29 host groups.  Most checks are 
 done on 5 minutes intervals.  I've gone over all of the 
 documented tweaks to improve performance.  The hardware 
 seems adequate and isn't starved for CPU; loads seem 
 reasonable; although the Check Latency under the 
 Performance Info screen continually creeps up - currently 
 at Max. 23 seconds.
 
 Time to load the Status Overview screen: 8,5,6,6 seconds 
 Time to load the Status Summary screen: 42,35 
 
 I guess my first question is what do your uses expect in 
 terms of performance?
 Am I missing the boat on something real basic here?
 How many hosts/services do you manage per Nagios host?

Those times seem long for that number of hosts. In most cases (including
a system I'm looking at now with around 2100 hosts and 11,000 services
being monitored) the bottleneck's bandwidth more than the server on the
big pages like the service detail, but I haven't used a Nagios 1.x
system for quite some time.

Have you tried keeping your status data in RAM? I've seen some pretty
decent performance gains from doing that in other cases.

 web GUI is getting slow.  This is on a version 1.x Nagios server.

 server is monitoring 678 hosts and 3481 services organized in 29 host

 performance?

This is not unusual for a 1.x installation with large numbers of
hosts/services. I had hostgroup overview pages that were taking up to 5
minutes to generate and I needed to cron them. There were significant
optimizations done in 2.x to correct the way the CGI's internally
traversed host and service entries resulting in the same pages
generating in about 6 _seconds_.

You should upgrade. 1.x is getting very old now.
