Virtual Machine: 2 CPU/6 Gig
Centos 6
64-bit

I just migrated from Nagios2012 to Nagios XI 2014R2.6. I used the standard virtual machine image, and imported all of my historical information/configuration in this information.

The load average on this server is incredibly high - the load is constantly high and it does not seem to spike (as referenced by one of your FAQs). I have tried all of the normal rebooting, restarting services, etc

Any help in troubleshooting this issue would be most appreciated.

How many checks are configured (per 5min.)?
You may need to increase system resources.

I adjust the system resources to 3 CPU/8 Gig and installed a RAMDisk.

This is the only thing that's particularly alarming...
What type of checks are you running that are taking so long? Either way - has adjusting the resources helped the load situation, or did you make those adjustments prior to your earlier post?
