Here is my $0.02:
I have a distributed Nagios2 system with 24,000+ service checks and 4000+
hosts. I rely heavily on NSCA to get the results from the slaves to the master.
My issue seems to be with Nagios since I can't get a Nagios slave to process a

If you’re using the embedded Perl interpreter a restart is probably better
since the interpreter leaks memory.
If you have a very large solution (thousands of service checks) a restart will
take a considerable amount of time so a HUP would probably be wise in that
situation.

I recently added two new slaves to a distributed Nagios system. The
central server now passively processes 17,000+ service checks on 3000+
servers.
It's been over an hour and a half since I brought those new slaves
online and I have about 150 hosts still stuck in 'Pending' and about

Since I have a large Nagios distributed system the possibility of a
Nagios process going AWOL on one of my many servers is a serious
concern. Has anyone come up with a sure way to confirm (i.e. a cron job)
that Nagios is processing checks properly?
For example, I had one OCP_daemon process die, a
That sounds very familiar to the locking/contention issue FreeBSD 7.x has with

Correct me if I'm wrong:

Sounds like the fork/vfork issue with FreeBSD's libpthread and Nagios.
The only solution I know of is to add the following to /etc/libmap.conf
and then do a stop/start of Nagios:

libpthread.so.2 libthr.so.2
libpthread.so libthr.so

Hello Patrick
The Cisco 3560 and 3550 are very different from the Cisco 7200. You
cannot get an actual temperature value from them, just a temperature
state.
You'll need to use this SNMP Table:
ciscoEnvMonTemperatureState .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.6
Possible states are:
1:normal 2:warning
Are you aware of the fork/vfork issue between Nagios and the FreeBSD
pthread library? This may be causing your problem.
Try using these /etc/libmap.conf entries:
[nagios]
libpthread.so.2 libthr.so.2
libpthread.so libthr.so
You will need to restart Nagios for the settings

This daemon runs on each of the distributed servers while a normal ncsa
