Nagios Support Forum

So it would take 10 minutes for nagios to know incase a service goes down depending on my definitions. As the check_interval is 10 and the interval_length is 60 seconds.

I want to change the interval_length to 30 seconds and check_interval to 2. Since we want data every minute. Can nagios handle the load ?

Here are the specs I used to create the vm. We currently have about 6000 service checks reporting to the nagios server.

Code: Select all

memorySize=16392
diskSize=600G
cpuCount=6

It is impossible for us to say conclusively one way or the other if your install can handle the load. To begin with, not all checks are equal in terms of load they put on the system. There many many other factors which play into this as well.

It would be much easier and more accurate to set up a test system to determine your load thresholds than for us to postulate on whether your system can handle a particular setting.

The general rule of thumb is about 10,000 checks per instance of Nagios, however that can vary widely.
