Hello team
what is best solution for tunning performance
like different Hardrive for MySQL/RRD and System?
What about performance SSD Raid or RAM Disk?
We are using VMware, with iSCSI SAS and SSD , for System SAS drive for RRD/MySQL two drive from SSD Raid
any idea? like HW Raid without iSCSI?
Now we have more than 500 devices, 4000 ports and 3000 sensors

4000 ports and 3000 sensors is no problem at all for a server with a SSD. Use distributed pollers to just scale up the cpu that you need with small VMs

My observium VM has 8 3.16GHz cores, 16GB of RAM, and the ESX datastore is using a NFS partition on a ZFS array of several 750GB SATA disks with an Intel 750 NVMe SSD acting as the SLOG for the array. I have the poller wrapper configured for 32 threads and on average, it takes roughly 92 seconds to complete the polling of all 762 devices. I didn't have to do any special performance tuning other than the increased poller threads in order to keep the polling time well under 300 seconds.
The greatest performance increase I had gained over a year ago was when I had changed the ESX datastore from iSCSI to NFS, and adding the very fast ZFS SLOG device.

I'd recommend reducing poller threads to ~16 or so.
No use spiking I/O load for 1/3rd of the time!

Yeah, the 32 was from when it was running on an ESX box with Xeon X5355 processors. Newer ESX box has Xeon E5-2643v3 processors. :-)
