sensors and devices up down false alarms

In the last months I'm starting to get some issues I cannot debug well . I have some alert of devices up&down that are not really going down even at ping check. I'm sure that there are no network issues as we are talking about near switch devices, I'm starting to think that I need to debug if our observium is starting to "saturate" and the performance get poor. is there something I can check to find if we need to tune observium ? Or best practices tI can use ?
CPU occupation graphs are kind of weird, processors occupation is different between Processors and Detailed Processors graphs :
any idea is welcome
Best Regards

The polling information pages would be useful to look at, they’re in the cog menu on the main menu bar.
These two graphs are generated from different MIBs. Is there a third Extended graph? It might show wait time, which is perhaps where the difference is. The detailed graph is mostly useful for older systems that don’t expose the newer OIDs.
Also the load average graph might be useful.
Poller load can increase a little over time as we add more things and the code gets a bit more complicated, but I don’t think that should be significant over the past couple of years.
