[Nagios-users] Recommended nice level for NRPE?

2010-03-29 Thread Jelle Smet


Hi list, 

I have a bunch of processing hosts, which consume all their
cpu resources when working. This is normal, by design. 

As a result I
often get timeouts for certain checks. I have set my global nrpe timeout on
30 seconds, which is already quite high.
Do you have any experience with
setting/resetting the nicelevel for the nrpe daemon?
Is there a recommended
setting? 

Thanks,

We rolled out nrpe with a `nice` of '+5', but noticed that we would have a
number of service check timeouts.  We have increased the service check
timeout to 45 and even 60 seconds on our older systems.  We expect to
remove the `nice` though.  Monitoring is too important :)
