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?

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.
