They both use MySQL for all data (ie: --with-mysql-xdata) The production network has 34 hosts and 429 services. The development network has 28 hosts and 211 services. On both networks I've seen the nagios process creep from using 6MB of RAM to over 64MB of RAM over about a week's time. The custom perl scripts that perform service checks using Net::SNMP and SNMPv3 work well - they pass 'use strict' without problems and run sucessfully from mini_epn. One minor problem with mini_epn is that because my code properly calls alarm($TIMEOUT), mini_epn never hangs around very long. Are there any suggestions for finding memory leaks in ePN? (I'm going to be looking at Apache::Leak and Devel::Leak, but there might be other debug options in nagios I'm not aware of).
