Mark , possible solution could be SSD drive, the life span is about 5 years by 10 GB write / Day , maybe even more now.. and they are not expensive any more.. davor <div class="gmail_quote"> On Wed, Oct 3, 2012 at 6:28 PM, Sven Nierlein <<a href="mailto:Sven.Nierlein@consol.de" target="_blank">Sven.Nierlein@consol.de</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Hi Mark, this could be done with Mod-Gearman which just puts all performance data in the gearman message system which then can be processed whereever you want. PNP4Nagios ships a gearman worker daemon which then processes your perfdata on a (or multiple) remote host. You could also put the pnp gui there. Details are the docs... <a href="http://docs.pnp4nagios.org/pnp-0.6/config#gearman_mode" target="_blank">http://docs.pnp4nagios.org/pnp-0.6/config#gearman_mode</a> Sven <div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"> On 10/3/12 16:33, Frost, Mark {BIS} wrote: > Hello.

We’ve been processing perfdata results on our Nagios server(s) for a while now and increasingly it’s just eating up too much I/O to make me comfortable. > Yes, we do use rrdcached and yes, I realize that shuffling data around on different disk spindles and controllers would help, but in today’s world where companies don’t like building any kind of physical server let alone one with all that additional hardware, that’s not entirely an option for us. > I realize that once the perfdata files are on the dedicated graphing server(s), processing them into RRD files there should be a no-brainer. My problem is figuring out how to get them there without say, using a NAS device.

Like if maybe Merlin have a special kind of peer that just received a stream of perfdata or something. Anything else I could imagine would be some kind of home-grown solution like say pumping events into a messaging system from the Nagios server(s) and then letting the graphing server pick them up from the message queue(s). I could also imagine some kind of fancy-pants module in Nagios 4 that did something like this, maybe. > Any thoughts would be appreciated. > Thanks > Mark > > </div></div><div class="im HOEnZb">> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
