Hi folks, I am running Nagios in several instances on Linux machines for a few years now, so I thought I give it a try on a Mac.
I have installed Macports and with that nagios (3.03) on a PowerMac G5 Dual 1,8 GHz (2,5 GB RAM), have configured 3 hosts and around 100 services - which is not much. Now there is several problems that I do not find any way to get around: 1. Nagios uses 150 - 200 % of cpu (since it is a dual cpu system that makes sense) in normal operation. One of my other nagios instances on a linux box monitors 30 hosts with 400 services inside a virtual machine on a pentium III box without noticable cpu load. The rest of the machine (system, services) run on unimpressed with normal process behaviour (just a mailserver and the OS, nothing else). What is happening there? 2. Nagios simply stops every now and then; it is not launchd stopping nagios, but the nagios process itself seems to hang somehow. It simply does not do any checks any more. Or a sub process hangs while trying to send an email. These hangs are quite weird - top and other tools list these processes as normally working processes, but they stop in the middle of something and do not go on or never finish. launchd does not recognize nagios as failed then and does not restart it. I would be interested in looking very deep into this and spending quite some time, but I do not now where to look at. Any hint or help is appreciated.
