Is there any close proximity number available as to how many clients Xymon can handle? I've seen in the wiki pages that one user is advertising over 10,000 however, that seems to be in a "clustered" setting. I see a few more users suggesting over 2,000. My concern lies in that my plans stand at some where in the middle of that, and also, there really is no gauge as to what hardware and network topology those systems are running.
My environment will be in the ball park of about 5,000 systems and many of them are on satellite bands with some latency concerns, pings tests come back at around 3 seconds.
I'm hoping to get some confidence that going into this project, I'm not going to be hit with a realization that Xymon simply cannot handle this type of environment. Its a lot of research and development that I would be flushing down the drain. I do have experience with my previous organization where we monitored about 1500 clients under the Hobbit project.... so I know the capabilities... I just don't know what the boundaries are.
