[op5-users] Merlin and Ninja roadmap - performance data fixes going in?

[Max]

Benjamin,

Hi, we are planning on using RabbitMQ as well; we have not started the
design phase of our implementation but wow it would be much preferable
to work on code that you have done and help enhance / bug fix etc aka
collaborate.

We are a very open source friendly shop; anything with Nagios we have
done we have been allowed to contribute back.

Mind sharing how you accomplished your Nagios -> Rabbit bridge?

I have a nice efficient pnp -> socket NEB module I lead and our team
contributed to at work that I am about to release open source; happy
to share that with you if it sounds like something you could use
(which would come out of a discussion about how you are integrated
with RabbitMQ if you will have that discussion with me).

I also have a blog that has a number of the performance tuning tips we
use for our current non-distributed model if you haven't seen it:

http://www.semintelligent.com/blog/?c=nagios

We currently are getting about 2500 hosts and 15000 active checks
(45000+ with passives included) out of a dual quad-core x86_64 host
with 8 GB RAM and SCSI disks; our polling cycle is 5 minutes for that
load.

Thanks,
Max
