Hello, I have inherited maintenance of a medium-sized Nagios installation. We currently have 649 hosts and 5415 services. Our setup works nicely, with one exception: Nagios falls behind on host/service checks. Our usual latency once Nagios has been running for a while is about 190-200 seconds

Hi everybody, we are running multiple nagios Instances which all provide Test results to one node which runs the cgi's. The problem with this setup is, that re-scheduling checks has to be done on the checking nodes and not on the node with the cgi's. Is there any good solution to this problem ?
