Website Monitoring: Why does monitoring seem slow and getting a lot of "INFO Previous run was too far in the past" messages in the logs?

We have added a lot of sites to the tool with all of them set to be checked every minute. It's taking up to 10 mins between runs and we are getting a lot of these messages in the logs:

INFO Previous run was too far in the past (gap=710.1399998664856) and thus some executions of the input have been missed

What can we do to speed it up?

Hi rpattison,

What the time window that you use for each site ? And what the technology do you use ?

We have about 1/2 the sites set to 1 min and the other 1/2 set to 2 mins.

Not sure what technology your asking about. Can you be more specific?

hi rpattison,

When I said what technology do you use, I said some thing as a MS Queue, Forwarders or others ways for obtain the log.

You have a external website monitoring the indexer of the Splunk, is this ? I say this because in my enterprise we use the S.O.S. Splunk for management and monitor our websites. For your case, I not know what to do. Sorry!

@rpattison Hello, I am getting the same issue as well as I increased the number of URLS to be probed.

Were you able to find a solution?

Thanks,
Vishwa
