Nagios slow restarting/reloading possible NDOUtils issue?

[mark.potter at academy.com]

I have gone over the documents again this morning and don't think I missed 
anything. Here is all the relevant information I can think of as well:

OS: SLES 9.3
Nagios: 2.9
Plugins: 1.4.10
NRPE: 2.9
NDOUtils: 1.4.9
Addons: NagiosQL, NagVis

This system is in the testing phase at this time so I can do anything that 
needs to be done.

When I reload nagios (/etc/init.d/nagios reload) it takes upwards of a 
full minute to bring everything back up for viewing. In the meantime a 
message is displayed concerning the status of the nagios daemon:

Error: Could not read host and service status information! 

This goes away in between 90 second and two minutes and everything begins 
to function normally and the system goes on that way until the next time I 
have to reload the configuration.

The suggestion on this page are:

1. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating to startup or status 
data errors.

2. Always verify configuration options using the -v command-line option 
before starting or restarting Nagios!

Done and nagios is actually running

3. Make sure you've compiled the main program and the CGIs to use the same 
status data storage options (i.e. text file or database). If the main 
program is storing status data in a text file and the CGIs are trying to 
read status data from a database, you'll have problems.

This is where I suspect the issue might be hiding. I am using NDOUtils and 
did not compile nagios is any special manner. I suspect, if this is 
actually an error, that it is somewhere in the text files vs. DB issue. I 
could be insane and this just could be how long it takes nagios to HUP 
when using NDOUtils. No matter the issue I suspect this list is where I 
will find my answer. Thanks in advance for everyone's time.
