Have you tried modifying the OCSP command? More specifically, have you optimized the command to have the lowest possible runtime. I noticed that only one instance of the OCSP command is executed at a time and this can lead to very high latencies when a large number of checks are queued for submissi

I've noticed we get this problem when there are more than one or two hosts down. Because Nagios (we use 1.2) does host checks first, and sequentially, a host check timing out can hold up everything else (we have >3000 checks to run every 5 minutes). I have no hosts down 95% of the time, includ

My first reaction is to question why some checks are taking >15 minutes to complete (check execution time) and why you are allowing them to go that long. I only allow a maximum of 60 seconds for any service check to execute -- (from nagios.cfg) service_check_timeout=60 host_check_timeout=30 event

Ok, I've decided to not wait before addressing the "tuning" doc (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/tuning.html). Also, thanks for the link Jim, there is some good information there. (Doc) 1. Use aggregated status updates. (me) Doing this. (Doc) 2. Use a ramdisk for holding status data.

Ok, that is all I can think of off the top of my head. I have reviewed the performance tuning tuning doc (from here: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/tuning.html), but I am open to trying things again / in a different way. I can list off what I've done in response to that doc on a point-by
