Hi EE peeps!<br />
<br />
I've got a Nagios server I've built in Ubuntu 11.10 (my first Nagios server) and it's now checking some 51 services over 15 hosts. &nbsp;When testing the latest services to make sure they're being monitored correctly I've found it's now taking quite some minutes to get round to checking things. &nbsp;Is it possible to speed the checking process up to allow less of a delay between something happening and it being picked up by Nagios?<br />
I've read up on the nagios.cfg file and I'm not 100% sure which values need to be changed.<br />
Any help on this would be gratefully recieved.

How do I speed up Nagios?

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).

Network Analysis

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
