hello

we got a xymon server polling ~ 8100 network devices (mainly cisco). devmon is used as well but the polling period is high: > 600 sec. (10 mn ). some purple are coming/leaving randomly :(

the server is not overloaded : load average: 0.70, 0.71, 0.74 no I/O disk load (SSD disk). server is idling at 94% (16cpu). bandwidth reachs 60Mb in outboud.

i m wondering if any people here have some tuning recommendations to have a better polling time (less than 300 sec idealy). for the moment, NUMFORKS is 60 (default 10) .

dm stats: Polled devices: 8183 Polled tests: 16535 Avg tests/node: n/a

clear msgs: 0

SNMP test time: 321 Test logic time: 164 BB msg xfer time: 176 This poll period: 661

maybe running a second devmon instance on the same server could be better.

any experience is welcome.

cheers Nico
