[Nagios-users] Slow Nagios reloads with NDOUtils

[<mar...@ac...>]

I really wish I could be more descriptive in the title but I am afraid it 
would make a very long title at best and be confusing at worst. For 
starters I am using the following:

SLES 9.3
Nagios: 2.10
Nagios Plugins: 1.4.9
NDOUtils: 14b6
NagiosQL: 2.00
NagVis: 1.1

My first problem, and I am not sure it is actually a problem, is that when 
I do a reload of nagios (/etc/init.d/nagios reload) it takes, what seems 
to me to be, a long time. It is usually around 90-120 seconds for Nagios 
to start allowing use of the web interface once the reload is initiated. A 
check of the files reveals no errors (save one warning for a host with no 
services) and the nagios process shows in a ps awux list. However the web 
interface shows the "Whoops! Error: Could not read host and service status 
information!" during the 90-120 second delay I mentioned earlier. Here is 
a tail of the logfile for the shutdown and restart:

This doesn't seem like enough to bog down a Dell PowerEdge 1855 with 2GB 
RAM onboard. Any and all help would be appreciated. I have been banging my 
head against the wall on this one. I have tried searching cannot seem to 
find these symptoms anywhere. I am being pressured to put this system into 
production but would prefer to have it restart as quickly as the current 
production system (never have had any lag reloading) so that I don't have 
to schedule daily restarts to test changes as they are being requested 
fast and furious. I apologize if I have over explained. Thanks in advance 
for any help!
