It looks like rsyslogd is taking up the largest chunk of memory, by far. Do you have the Nagios server sending its logs to another server?

[IT-OPS-SYS]

yes, we have secondary server setup for backing up the server

It might be worth checking to make sure that the remote server is getting the logs from your Nagios server. I know that rsyslog will hold a certain number of logs in cache when it cannot contact the remote server. That may be why rsyslog is using up your memory.
