hundreds of procs

Yes, this is the second e-mail I have gotten to the effect that nagios is
overloaded, last one I dismissed because the machine didn't appear (to the
linux standard) to be overloaded.  I have 81 hosts and 91 services being
passively monitored on this machine.  What would a possible suggestion of
hardware be?

In situations I've seen, hundreds of procs means that nagios is not
processing alerts fast enough. There are three solutions for this.
- Tweak nagios.cfg (might take a lot of time)
- Put the status.log on a ramdisk (very easy, everyone should do this)
- Use a faster cpu.

Often the cpu's won't be overloaded and you may have 98-99% cpu free but
updates just aren't fast because of one of the above reasons. Then nagios
just gets stuck in a never-ending queue.

Let me know if you have any questions... I can go into further detail if
needed.
