Hello,
Currently I'm managing a XyMon server which consists of around 5,000 devices. We are looking to keep continually adding more and more devices to it as time goes on. The issue is our system is currently always using max system resources we keep allocating to the server. BTW devmon seems to be the highest system resource hog.
Stats: About 5,000 devices XyMon 4.3.0-0-beta2 DevMon 0.2 4 CPU(s) 16 GB RAM Suse Linux Enterprise 10 (32-Bit) 300GB Enterprise SAN Storage - Fiber Channel - (3 Years of archived data stored)
Do it do me any good to give the system more resources? CPU(s) or RAM?
What is the experience that other users have with monitoring this many devices?
What system configurations are you using to support this many monitored hosts?
Sorry to ask so many questions, but I was wondering what options we have before making any big decisions.
Matt
