Nagios Support Forum

I think I might have figured out what the problem was but I'm unsure why this was the cause of it. I had to reboot one of the servers that was showing an incorrect Total Procs amount. As I watched the boot process, I saw a number of orphaned inodes being removed. After researching exactly what cause...

Sorry for the late response. It seems our working hours are offset. Here are the results:
ls /proc | wc -l
138

Not at all. A random administrator may log in (usually just myself), but some have no one accessing them most of the time (squid, smtp). I ran 'ps -eaFm' to try and view the thread count of the currently running procs but I didn't see a "smoking gun", but I will admit that I'm not 100% sur...

A few of the servers I monitor are reporting hundreds of processes running (some as high as the 700's), but a query on the server (ps -ef | wc -l) shows less than 100. Why or how would Nagios be so far off? I was not able to find any zombie processes running. Is it possible that Nagios is also picki...

Well the problem has been resolved. It was not anything Nagios related. I didn't think it was, but wanted to do my due-diligence. One of our VMware guys found that, although there was 4GB or RAM configured, there was a 512MB reserve set. Once the reserve was removed, the CPU usage dropped drasticall...

It would seem that your largest issue is disk utilization followed closely by fluctuating CPU usage. Have you taken a look at offloading mysql and using a ramdisk for check results and performance data? I've tried offloading MySQL to another server, but was unable to get data to actually be sent to...

Lets get some basic system specs and load settings, ideally while its running sluggishly.

Do you have a service defined for this host? The command you shared is for a local check, in order to check those hosts you are getting timeouts for you will need to install a NRPE agent on them, then check them from the Nagios server through a service "that is a very brief description of what...

Can you share the service configuration of one of your service's that are timing out? Also, the host configuration for it's Host. Also please share the output of running the following on the Nagios server's command line: sestatus command[check_syslog]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w 1: -c ...
