Hi, I monitor currently 800+ devices on a single box, and doing it on 16 cores @ 3.5ghz,64GB ram and the RRD directory mounted on a raid SSD disk
With this setup, I can probably even get away with 1min polling.
Main points:
-
Lots of cores, I would suggest double what I have to start with, lots’ of cores AND high speed of the cores is important
-
SSD for RRD storage (straight mount, no symlink) (currently around 120gb in use)
-
DO spend the time on tuning snmp parameters (figuring out which devices are slow, and needs max-rep optimizations)
-
No-atime mounting of the file system
-
Play-around with thread settings of the poller.
If you have the hardware to spread it out over multiple boxes, go for it, you’ll get better performance for sure.

Hi Friends,
My company has a PRO Subscription and we plan to implement Observium horizontally:
-
Dedicated MySQL DB
-
Dedicated RRD and web interface
-
Main Poller
-
Maybe Poller #2
We need your advice about hardware requirements to poll ~2500 devices and ~100.000 ports.
Thanks,
|
