Here they are:
1. Set "use_large_installation_tweaks=1" in your nagios.cfg
2. restart nagios.

Not exactly rocket science.

Re: [Nagios-users] R: use_large_installation_tweaks

2012-04-23 Thread Jake Xu
I've just turned on this use_large_installation_tweaks option today. It
reduces the check latency significantly. Other than that, not so much.

I had tried using mod_gearman as well. It's a very nice addition to
distribute loads to other servers, but I had a hard time doing
configuration, deciding the best number of workers etc.

It cannot. Merlin replaces both send_nsca and nsca.

Hello Andreas.

I have one server with NSCA, for accepting passive checks from 80 hosts
more or less.

The next step is replicate the same configuration in another server, for
example for the access of datacenters operators aroud Central America, if
the server is attacked, only crash a mirror and no the original server.

My question is... I use send_nsca and nsclient++, Can Merlin accept
packages from these clients? Or a can only install Merlin from send the
package of checks from the original server to the mirror?

Thanks for the help and sorry my bad english...

It's not supposed to change anything in execution time. What happens in
the plugins is not for Nagios core to control, even if we could.

Maybe, but I doubt it. It will give Nagios a little less to do, so that
you can give it a little more to do and still stay the same, or so that
the hardware can cope with the load you're throwing at it.

I am testing it on 3 different nagios systems.

It seems very good regarding latency, nothing change in execution_time.

I wonder if configuring " use_large_installation_tweaks=1"  I can find
problems in other part of the monitoring...

For me, it was a good way to reduce memory and CPU, and it helped with check
latencies.

Although, the absolute best way to reduce check latencies for me has been to
dump NDOUtils.  Good lord, that was awful, had to restart Nagios three times
a week.

Try out merlin instead of NSCA. It's far more efficient at passing checks
between servers than NSCA.

We don't use NDOutils.

We have two kind of performance problem:
1) day-by-day - some Nagios servers have many services configured that can
be heavy for the HW
2) trouble with main Nagios server - the other Nagios servers that send to
the main the passive results (via nsca) , due to the stop of the main server
become very slow

For me, it was a good way to reduce memory and CPU, and it helped with check
latencies.

Although, the absolute best way to reduce check latencies for me has been to
dump NDOUtils.  Good lord, that was awful, had to restart Nagios three times
