[Nagios-users] Nagios 3.2 and max_concurrent_checks=0

[Cary P. <Pet...@ld...>]

I'm doing some testing for migrating our installation to Nagios3.2. The test server is running 3.2 on an 8 CPU box with 34,000 active service checks and 3,000 active host checks. The initial configuration file had max_concurrent_checks=0, but latency was about 9,000 seconds. I changed it to max_concurrent_checks=200 and the latency went down to about 7,000 seconds. I then set it to 2,000 and the latency dropped to about 200 seconds. I currently have it set to 100,000 and latency has not changed from about 200 seconds.

>From all the documentation I have seen, if max_concurrent_checks is set to zero, there should be no limit on the number of concurrent checks, but this doesn't appear to be the case. Is there some other part of the configuration that I'm missing which would make max_concurrent_checks=0 be limited instead of unlimited?
