NSCA in Daemon Mode, response time grows up

[ckleinfeld2 at gmx.ch]

Hello List

I'm using NSCA-cvs with Nagios 2.0b3 in a large Network Enviroment.

We have only one Nagios Server for 427 Hosts (291 active, 136 passive) with
2198 Services (399 active, 1799 passive).

If every passive Host send the full-Service checks Results, every full hour,
the Response-Time time from NSCA grows up to 5-10 seconds or higher.

The result of this is that some Hosts are running in a 10 second timeout and
giving up to send the check-results.

What can i do to improve the response Time from NSCA ?

Currently NSCA is running in Daemon, maybe it improves speed if i'm starting
it with a tcp-wrapper, like xinetd - or it slows down things more?
Is the time come to thing about a distrubuted Nagios Setup?

The Hardware is a DL380G3 2xIntel Xeon 3.2GHZ Proccesors. Nagios is under a
ext3 Filesystem, which is mirrored to a redundant System using DRBD and
Heartbeat.

I dont know what i can do at the moment to solve situation, any help would
be great.

Regards
Chris
