Hi Patrick,
if you think there is a problem with the machine running nagios i would monitor localhost too :-)
Or another way to get information about the performance of the Nagios-host is to get load and memory values through snmp and create load and memusage graphs with mrtg or cacti for example. That's the way I take a look @ the performance of my linux hosts
Kind regards,
Dennis Hünseler

Subject: [Nagios-users] Critical Plugin Timed Out
Hi all,
I've been running Nagios 2.6 for about 6 months now, and every now and
then we get critical pages about a machine being down, or at least
Nagios can't connect to it. It causes the CEO to freak out and believe
something is up with our network.
To me, it seems like the box is getting stressed out during the tests
and is causing the plugins to time out.
Here's some of the alerts from this morning:

you folks in order to help me out?
Thanks in advance.
