Nagios XI 2014 - How Do You Throttle Down Workers?

[mrochelle]

I'm attempting to limit the number of processes that Nagios XI 2014 will place against a remote server. Are there any nagios.cfg settings that limit processes, workers, etc? I have removed Mod Gearman which I was able to limit worker processes available. I'm hoping there is a configuration setting within Nagios that will do the same?
Thanks, Marcus

Yes there are. You can use the following commands to limit the starting number of workers, and the total number of workers respectively:

Code: Select all

core_workers=6
max_concurrent=20

That worked! Thanks.
I had to change core_workers to check_workers, fyi.
