You may want to check out https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... giosXI.pdf which has details(check out the manual steps section) regarding which folders can be moved to help performance and how to modify the configuration to recognize the new locations.

Not sure if you did this in your previous efforts but if you didn't add a RAMdisk the directories marked in this document are the ones that are accessed the most

Besides those, the database would be the next most I/O intense in /var/lib/mysql

Thanks, scottwilkerson, I did already RAMdisk, and I will try to put mysql path to another drive.
But how about graph performance data folder? do we need to put it to another disk?
