The problem in my case was many processes trying to write to a common FIFO of sorts, which resides in the main Nagios process. All of the processes seemed to be overwriting each other in the FIFO and by default the main Nagios process only cleans this buffer out every 10 seconds (I'm pretty sure that was the default). The configuration directive that controls the cleaning frequency is the 'service_reaper_frequency'. I turned this config option down a bit at a time until my service checks were all completing in an acceptable time frame. You might give that a try. --Ben -----Original Message----- From: dan radom [<A HREF="mailto:dan@radom.org">mailto:dan@radom.org</A>] Sent: Saturday, January 18, 2003 9:51 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] schedule queue / pending checks I have nagios monitoring about 90 hosts and close to 300 services, and I've noticed that sometimes nagios takes hours and hours to perform checks. Looking at the scheduling queue I see that last check will sometimes be hours ago with the next check time having been passed up. Sometimes new service checks will remain in a pending state for 8 or 10 hours. Is this a known issue? If not any suggestions on how to go about starting to track downt he problem.
