xymond report tells me I average 6 incoming status messages a second from the clients. Load average for this server stays below 0.3 (last 2 days). For last two days, it totals 94% idle.
In other words, the server does not need much memory or cpu -- especially if you distribute the tests to clients. Xymon supports central testing as well as distributed testing. I tend to distribute as much of the testing as I can/as makes sense (the client runs the test and merely reports status to server).
Feel free to contact me directly if you would like more info or details.

Morning or Evening, Everyone.
I am looking at deploying Xymon, through the Google Cloud Compute service, I sadly have no space for a physical server and was wondering if can Zymon can run on an low amount of ram and CPU.
