Nagios load

[exp-user1]

Hello team,

we see a lot of this error messages:

"nagios: #011Max concurrent service checks (140) has been reached."

any help?

[scottwilkerson]

Someone must have edited your max_concurrent_checks value in /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

For no limit set

Code: Select all

max_concurrent_checks=0

Then restart nagios

Hello scott,

does this limited number of concurrent checks affect nagios service behavior? like causing performance issue or interruption in nagios service?

Hello scott,

does this limited number of concurrent checks affect nagios service behavior? like causing performance issue or interruption in nagios service?

It does limit how many checks can be performed at the same time, if you have a really large setup with not many resources on your Nagios server, you can use this setting to limit the concurrent checks, the result of this will be lower load on the Nagios server, but services will not be checked in the time prescribed.
