<DIV><SPAN class=922161513-25042003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am a newbie to
Nagios - and have been reading the manuals and playing with installations now
for 2 weeks (on and off), and have a little question about performanace
data...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=922161513-25042003><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone using it??
have any info on how many plugins support it - which method is best used (file
based or the default)?? is it even worth spending time looking into this (maybe
no plugins support it at the momment)??</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=922161513-25042003><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also - anyone using
a default interval of 30 seconds (main config file -> interval_length=30).
Nagios seems to schedule checks for some hosts (most of them) every 30
seconds (for those services that I have defined a normal interval of 1 for), but
not on some others...I now in the manual it was specified that anything other
than 60 (for interval_length) was not fully tested...anyone encounter this?? i
am using the check_ping plugin for those services I have
defined to run evry 30 sec - and now I am starting to see timeouts
(CRITICAL in event log - plugin timed out after 10 seconds)..do you think that
this is a parrallellization issue - I have placed the number of
parrallell test to zero (which in the manual says that 0 =
unlimited.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=922161513-25042003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am not worring
about system performance - the box is an OK box dedicated for nagios - dual
PIII XEON, 512 MB RAM...vmstat (vmstat 1) reports a consistent idle
processor time of >=95% - so the thing is sleeping.</FONT> </SPAN></DIV>
