Good morning!
I am attempting to spin up my first Xymon server and would like advice on system requirements, primarily disk space required but CPU count and RAM would also be greatly be appreciated. Looking at initially monitoring 20 hosts and would like some room to grow. Most likely will be running Xymon on FreeBSD.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you! Brad

I'm 4/20 gig after 495 days of uptime. Graphs for 30 hosts. I have data from an older server that started probably 2006.
Xymon is not disk intensive, it's all text and RRD.

I've got a Xymon VM server that's monitoring 100 hosts, mostly collecting PowerShell Client data from Windows clients. Disk = 10G and has filled to 86% after 3 years. I'll probably need to expand it a little bit one of these days. CPU = 1 core, utilization hovers around 1% Ram = 2G, utilization hovers around 15%
I've got another Xymon server running at a client location on a Raspberry Pi. It's been running for 2 years with no trouble.
I had one running on AWS once, but had trouble with backups and migration, so I abandoned AWS.
The beauty of Xymon is that it can run very lean. I normally use Ubuntu headless server, but I got it working easily on Raspbian too.

xymongen tells me I have 3848 hosts on 447 pages. Of those, about 1800 are registers, with another 400 seasonal registers that are just starting to be spun up for the holidays.

Currently monitoring 535 servers on a system that was first installed 6 years ago, my setup is using 16G of a 20G filesystem. Everything is installed in and running from that filesystem, including all RRD DBs.
15G of that is in the data directory, with 11G of that residing in the data/hostdata and 3.9G of residing in data/histlogs.

I've been running BB/Hobbit/Xymon for almost 20 years, but the data goes back about 4 1/2 years. There are 4 other xymonnet servers reporting to this main server, but they don't accumulate history.

The required space depends mainly on how many changes you have. We have some major issues with devmon so we have a lot of changes between clear and green. Each change is saved to a file and that can use a lot of space. If you are not interested in the details of all these changes, they can be safely removed.
We also have added extra arrays and extra data points to our rrds so they hold more data. That also also uses extra space but not that much.
