nsca vs. nrpe

Personally i favor nrpe as I can control at a central point which checks are really run. I can have 30 checks in the config but, use only 5 of them. With nsca you have to adjust the cronjob-list on every server and have no central option.

nagios checks too slow

lately i came across a really dumb problem. Our nagios server sucked like hell and I couldn’t find the source of the problem. I was tuning nagios-parameters but nothing changed. The server had low load and cpu-usage, but the checks were delayed about 15-30 minutes (should be checked every 2 minutes). Then I found the solution. nagios active hostchecks YOU HAVE TO DISABLE THIS CRAP. In Nagios 2.x the hostchecks are serial, thus delaying all other checks, while checking. With some hundreds hosts it can happen fast, that the server is almost only checking the hosts and not doing anything else.
