Ah! Thank you for the clarification, Andreas. As I mentioned, I
have no experience with this setting and I'm fighting some
performance demons of my own. This may very well help me as well.
It might be useful to be a little more verbose about this setting
in the default nagios.cfg - it makes no reference to NAGIOS_ and
doesn't make the distinction. Maybe something like:
# ENABLE ENVIRONMENT MACROS
# This option determines whether or not Nagios will make all standard
# macros available as NAGIOS_ environment variables when host/service
# checks and system commands (event handlers, notifications, etc.) are
# executed. Enabling this option can cause performance issues in
Thanks again!
Benny
