I tried that and as you predicted, all the bogus stat calls went away. Unfortunately the performance issue did not. :( Back to the drawing board for me! Upon further inspection, it seems as though for each check, Nagios spawns a process that spawns a process that spawns a process that runs the check. I did "ktrace -i -t w -p (nagiospid)" on Nagios for 30 seconds and the ktrace output contained records from 2365 different processes spawned in that 30 seconds. During that time, I would expect about 800 checks to have run, so it does seem like it's right at 3 processes per check. I just don't think the system can keep up with all that fork()ing without going all out; it's just a limit of the Nagios plugin architecture. But thank you very much for point me in the right direction! _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
