Hi,
That *might* be enough, you might need a little more memory.
But yes, you can totally run the database on another machine, you also can run distributed pollers on multiple machines, I wrote a guide on the subject here: http://blog.best-practice.se/2017/10/scaling-observium-horizontally.html

Thanks for reply,

We are linux shop we only need basic info about hardware status, i
should disable other MIBs so to lighten the load but only worry is how
big DB machine i need to handle 1000 machine, currently i have 8 core
CPU and 8G memory Dell server.

Does observium has option to use external poller? so i can setup extra
machine for just polling data and other machine for GUI/DB.
