[Nagios-users] Is Embedded Perl + Nagios::Plugin worth it?
I've got one server that is getting tanked right now. (Load average in the 50's) Is it worth it to rewrite the many perl scripts I have to use Embedded Perl and the Nagios::Plugin CPAN module? I'm speaking in terms of performance and also in terms of future Nagios releases/compatibility.

Hi Jonathan, Yes and yes. You will notice a huge decrease in load if you move to ePN, just make sure you code to the Plugin standards for ePN and make sure you scope variables properly so you don't have memory leaks in your code (same situation as if you were writing code for mod_perl). I think there is a pretty solid group of people using ePN, if anything my hope is that future releases will add the option of enabling other embedded interpreters at compile time (Lua, ruby, python, PHP) the way the Net-SNMP project, RRDtool, and others do :). - Max On Feb 5, 2008 2:08 PM, Jonathan Call [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've got one server that is getting tanked right now.

I currently use ePN for all my active checks (though most are only every 60 minutes since I rely on passive means). The only thing I run outside of ePN is my notification script as I haven't had the urge or need to rewrite it to load under the ePN. I don't use the Nagios::Plugin CPAN module though, just the utils.pm. I have seen many reports of memory leaks but I've yet to see any on this or any earlier deployment.
