Hi,

We are using Nagios XI 2014R2.3.

Earlier this month we had seen our 'Active Service Execution Time' almost doubled one morning. Although avg execution time remained about the same. Is there perhaps a database query that exist to capture the services execution from slowest to faster, or even top 10 slowest services? Thanks.

I do not know of individual statistics for the service checks. Was there a change to the service check interval, or the retry check interval? Was there any outage that increased the rate of your service checks.

Could you share with us a screen shot of your Admin --> System Information --> Monitoring Engine Status.

screen shot attached.

I don't recall any service check interval / retry interval change, or any outage change. Another user may have added a new service check that points to increase in the service execution time.

Looking at the sceduled events over time graph, shows an uneven number of active service checks in the first part of the 15 min. interval.

The active service time average is good. The latency is an issue because of the unevenness of scheduled checks. I would have you look at
