Disabling NPCD on nagiosxi
Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2013 2:34 am
Hello,
I have started using mod_gearman (PNP worker) for processing performance data and now want to disable the processing done by Nagios and NPCD.
I initially disabled the performance data processing in nagios.cfg by using the following setting, but did not work. Nagios was still processing host-perfdata and service-perfdata files.
Later, I disabled the whole config related to nagios bulk mode with npcd and it worked. I dont see new host-perfdata and service-perfdata files anymore.
I want to confirm that by doing so, I am not causing nagios to constantly look for these settings and eat up more CPU/MEM? I have disable the npcd service for now.
Thanks
Ashish
