Zencommand Threads/Parallel instances question

Hi All,

Does anyone know how I can tell how many instances of zencommand are currently set to run? I found a link that showed me how to change the number, http://community.zenoss.org/docs/DOC-2521 but I don't know what the current number is..

We're having performance issues when we go over a certain threshold of zencommand operations and I want to know how to resolve it without resorting to another collector.

I want to increase the number of instances of zencommand running if possible. The above link says I can do this in $ZENHOME/etc/zencommand.conf by adding a line like this.

parallel        5

Any ideas would be really welcome,

Thanks,

Joan
