regular load-spikes on nagiosserver - what's the bottleneck?
Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2012 6:09 am
Hi,
we figured out that we have regular load-spikes on our nagios server. They seem to occur every 95min but there's no cronjob running in such a shedule. We also don't have a set of checks which is just run every 95min. But nevertheless in exactly this timeperiod the load goes up.
We setup MRTG to watch this (Values are multiplied with 100):
This graph isn't showing the exact values because mrtg just takes the data every 5min but sometimes in this spike-time the load can be much higher like 3 or 4.
Our setup:
Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2356
1 GB Ram
Nagios 3.4.1
hosts: 155
service checks: 527
I think the setup has enough rescources to handle this but nevertheless we have this load-spikes.
Have you any idea what we can look at? How do we get out what each 95min is creating this load?
