- Less nagging from Nagios (Crwilliams)
- Nagios has been found to be running 56,000 processes per hour. It seems to start these on 'minute boundaries' and therefore sown-vpn gets rather loaded, as does the network. We need a way to fix this.
- We are going to reduce the number of forked processes by turning of child_processes_fork_twice.
- We are also going to implement exponential backoff of alert sending.
- We are also going to selectively disable emails for certain 'non-urgent' services.
