Monitor the queue depth for nagios checks

Hi!

I would like to use Nagios to monitor nagios. Specifically, I'd like to be able to see how many service checks are ready to be run. I think I may have added so many service checks that the Nagios server is unable to keep up.

I've tried adjusting some of the config parameters I thought may help, but I don't know how to monitor the health of Nagios other than to watch the loadavg on the Nagios server.

Can someone tell me where I would find a list or a counter of service checks ready to run?

Thank you,
-Terry

Can you give us some background to work off of? How many checks are being ran, are they active/passive/how many of each, and how frequently are checks told to be ran (interval). Also, what type of hardware are you running on? What are the symptoms you are seeing?

Hi,
I found a solution. Check_nagiostats works perfectly with pnp4nagios to generate graphs of all the nagios performance metrics.
