Author  Topic  Lambik Starting Member 13 Posts Posted - 2012-10-23 : 03:26:44 Hello, I have a SQL Server database running. In our company we use Nagios for monitoring. We have installed a plugin for monitoring SQL Server. With this plugin a lot of things can be monitored such as: average wait time database pages per second deadlocks per second etc etc the problem is that Nagios has predefined values for warnings or critical warnings. I cannot interpret al of this values. for example the lock timeouts per second. How high may this value be before you have to worry. Nagios has a value of 500. Our server gives values of 800 and more. Does anybody know what a good value is? greet Lambik
