You can probably ignore the servers. Calculate how many ports are on the switches, and you'll perhaps get a rough idea of the requirements.

As you can now fit 24 cores in a single system relatively inexpensively, we can scale pretty far on a single system as our poller runs multiple parallel processes. :)

Splitting MySQL to a separate server with fewer, faster cores helps. Storing RRDs on SSD (or ramdisk if you can afford the RAM) is very important too.

Thanks for your reply, the equipments are switches and servers, is for the monitoring of a ISP so is a large network.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Hello,

Does anyone know if observium works fine in a large network?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi,

Observium scales primarily on I/O throughput for writing RRDs, which scale mostly by port numbers on network devices. (servers scale more by device number).

15,000 is a very large number, are they switches, cpe, servers?

I don't think we have any installations scaling that high, I think the largest I know of is ~3000 devices, mostly switches, so a very large number of ports.

I installed it at a local datacenter with 10K devices and over 40 Gbps of bandwidth. Ran it on a VM on 2x L5420 CPU and 8 GB of ram.

Ran like a dream. It still runs today without any issues.

Joshua, Did you adjust anything, eg add more numbers after /opt/observium/poller-wrapper.py in cron. I'm think your poller takes longer than five minutes to run.

Do you know how the poller takes to run thru just once ?

thanks

Peter Hine
