<br>
Nagios is extremely bad with high throughput and concurrency, and check_sip is a wrapper around 'sipsak', which means it takes the full Timer T1 * 64 to time out if the Asterisk server is truly not available (about ~30-32 sec).<div>

I'm monitoring Asterisk with Nagios. Nagios constantly alerts because of<br>
too many zombie processes. I eventually had to disable the notification<br>
for the alert but why does Asterisk create so many zombie processes,<br>
I've see more than 30 at times and it generally stays in the 20s... just<br>
seems unusual and wondering if it's harmful, thanks in advance.<br>
