Network and machine resource consumption for Nagios

[Kenneth Holter]

Hi.


Is there any resource consumption with regards to network or server/client
machines to worry about when running Nagios? We're running active checks,
i.e. the Nagios server uses SSH to run plugins on the client side and gather
the information.

I guessing that the per service per check interval load on the network is a
matter of a couple of very small packets travelling between the Nagios
server and the Nagios client. And on the client side it is only a matter of
running small, simple scripts that causes very little processing overhead.
Thus, all in all there shouldn't be much of a overhead to talk about when
running Nagios? Of course, it all depends on the check interval and the
number of checks, and if anyone knows any nagios check per
processing/network capacity ratio please speak up.


Regards,
Kenneth
