Nagios Support Forum

Hi,
I have problem with "Max concurrent service checks.." message in nagios archive files. I have to use check limit with 250. Since a few days (probably after I update nagios form 3.2.3 to 3.4.3) my nagios log files in archive directory grown from 15-20 MB to 200-280 MB, number of lines in file grown from 150K to 1,5-2 M.
I checked everything and reason is too much "Max concurrent service checks.." number of entries in log files. when I remove lines with this entries, log files makes smaller to less then 1 MB.

Any ideas to turn off this entries ? I really don't need them.

I use CentOS 5.8, nagios 3.4.3, also I check 660 hosts and 1750 services.

BTW
I use check limit to 250 because my server doesn't have enough resources (virtual machine) and I plan to migrate to physical one. Can you suggest me what parameters should this server have to ?

You could create and cron a script that reverse greps the entries and rewrites the files. Rather than limiting your checks with a hard cap of 250, you may want to increase the time between checks to reduce the number of logged errors.
