nrpe or nsclient failure from workload

Is there any history of the remote agents crashing from receiving simultaneous or overlapping service check requests? If not, are there any observed conditions that have caused an agent to stop operating and require a restart?
Thanks!

Probably would help to know which versions of NRPE/NSClient and OS we're talking about here.

I agree with
@rexconsulting.
I don't know of any agent's crashing, but I do know when NRPE is running under xinetd on Linux it can block connections if it gets more than 30 together from the same IP.
this can be modified by adding the following to /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
then the service restarted

Thanks. I've requested the version information from the server team. We don't have direct access to the servers.

Were you able to get the service started?
May we close the thread?
