[Nagios-users] Check size of large directory

2010-12-02 Thread Sebastian Ries
Hi I need to check the size of a directory... The problem is that this directory is very large (needs to stay under 1TB - that's why I need the check) and I cannot move it to an own partition (content is hard-linked) So I tried to write the size of this directory into a file (content does not ch

Yeah, for giggles I went back further through the archives last night and found stuff back to 2.x series, and not much has seemed to help. I killed some of my mis-behaving active checks, and that dropped to about 20 seconds, then went up to about 35-50. So while that's better, I have A LOT more h

Yeah, been running that since day one, since when rollout is done we'll probably have about 18k servers and around 3 million service checks... I can probably post my relevant config options if someone wants to peak. Dan -Original Message- From: C. Bensend [mailto:be...@bennyvision.com]

Not using SNMP for any of the checks, and most are passive checks. For the few active checks we are probably going to be using dnx. Embeded perl is interesting though, I hadn't tried that, thought it was supposed to help with performance. I don't think we have any obsessive stuff running right

Someone else noticed that nagios is generating a ton of minor page faults, and curious if that's normal and if that could be causing some of the latency in the checks? I've also got a tmpfs setup for the status.dat and the checkresults directory to ease some of the disk i/o since we're on a san-ba

Well, local lan really doesn't have to do with it. You CAN use SNMP for some of the checks, my in my experience you can't get everything from SNMP or as detailed info on some things, so I always use NRPE. If you are monitoring the local machine, (localhost) then you obviously don't need an agent,
