Why Big Monitoring Software Sucks
I swear I've seen HP OpenView processes using more CPU than Oracle. I have no idea why companies throw away so much money on such terrible software.

Monitoring systems that have to execute thousands of active checks every polling interval consume a bit of CPU. I've certainly seen high CPU usage and run queue depth on a busy Nagios server.

On a central server, I can understand. These processes were running on clients, though, and consuming as much memory and CPU as they could find.
