Yes, I was confused, and mis-read the first sentence of the third paragraph
of the blog posting as creating a reaper thread for Nagios.
But in spite of that, it seems that moving the reaper code into a thread
would be generically useful for Nagios. I know it has been discussed on this
list in the past.
If the Merlin reaper thread is wholly contained within the Merlin NEB (as it
appears to be) and is not in any way patching the Nagios core code, then my
question is, how is that working without conflicting with the main event
loop reaper code? My quick glance at the NEB callbacks for
EVENT_CHECK_REAPER seems to indicate that there isn't any
NEBERROR_CALLBACKOVERRIDE associated with it. So I am very curious how it is
being handled.

I'm unsure if you're confused or just posted to the wro=
ng list, but the
patch you are referring to is specific to the merlin broker module not
nagios core.
If you are running a distributed setup using merlin, the first
version I can see containing the threaded reaper code is 0.9.0. If not,
the latency you're experiencing is due to a different problem.

Adam

I'm unsure if you're confused or just posted to the wro=
ng list, but the
patch you are referring to is specific to the merlin broker module not
nagios core.
If you are running a distributed setup using merlin, the first
version I can see containing the threaded reaper code is 0.9.0. If not,
the latency you're experiencing is due to a different problem.

Adam
