The queue may very well build up if a lot of checks are being run, but it should go back down after a bit. Is the problem that the queue never clears, or that it sometimes isn't at 0?

Can you also address the other questions from @bheden's last post? In particular if you increased the results worker in the NEB config.

I did it in the worker config

the problem is that sometimes the queue builds up and stays high and doesn't go down for a considerable amount of time. it doesn't seem to be able to catch up

Open up your NEB config, (/etc/mod_gearman/mod_gearman_neb.conf for ModGearman v1 or /etc/mod_gearman2/module.conf for ModGearman v2) and find the line that says
Change this line to
Let us know if this stops the hang ups. Thanks.

I already had that setting. I am having at some point in the past I made that change.


for the last two days the queues have been stable

It's hard to say what's causing the queue to go up, but generally this will happen when there is a network outage and many hosts/services go down at once. This causes checks to be run more frequently, usually from every 5 minutes down to every minute. Do the jumps in the queue coincide with any network events you can identify?

I haven't been good at capturing the different events. i will start..

queue has been good for the last few days.

this is so weird

Sounds good - let us know if there is any further assistance you need from us.
