Nagios performance trouble

Dual quad core Intel 2.33 GHz CPUs. I have 194 hosts and 772 services, all active.

If I were you I would bump up the warning and critical thresholds for Total Processes and Current Load n the localhost.

I have done this. I also upgraded to 2011R3.3 (from 3.2) yesterday just to see if it helped anything and it seems to have made things run better. I did get a few errors from the update.

Code: Select all

Setting up Local Package Process
Cannot open file: /tmp/nagiosxi/packages/Ajaxterm-0.10-8.el5.noarch.rpm. Skipping.

Also, my customized xi_host_notification_handler and xi_service_notification_handler scripts in commands.cfg were not carried over with the update.

These errors should be of no concern as they are just related to some prep that version was doing for 2012 release.

As for the changes to xi_host_notification_handler & xi_service_notification_handler I didn't think this release would overwrite them, but if you need to recover them they should be available in one of your snapshots from before the upgrade in configure -> Core Config Manager -> Configuration Snapshots

[hhlodge]

Well I recovered Friday's commands.cfg from backups and that option is clearly there, so it didn't get carried over.

Now I am getting a continuous stream of these errors in nagios.log for all my services:

Mon Nov 12 16:28:03 2012 Warning: The check of service 'Uptime' on host 'xxxxxxxxr' looks like it was orphaned (results never came back). I'm scheduling an immediate check of the service...

All set, thank you.
